Climate Change and its impact of agriculture production

by Sachin Regmi | 14-03-2019 15:17



Exponential growth of CO 2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is causing climate change. Additionally, our behavioral pattern is adding misery.  It affects agriculture, forestry, human health, biodiversity, snow cover and aquatic to mountain ecosystems. Changes in climatic factors like temperature, solar radiation and precipitation have potentials to influence crop production. Despite many efforts possible on combating impacts of climate change, there are still difficulties in agriculture system.

I want to simplify the equation with an example. We have a predetermined chart of growth and production of seasonal vegetables and crops in our country. The same pattern is being adopted for time eternity. E.g. we plant paddy during rainy seasons. Local farmers are sharing only small knowledge of required shift in timeframe they have been using because the climate is behaving unnaturally. The same is causing great loss in total production and yield of these crops. Additionally, the pest problem management is a great loss either. Overall the farmers unable to cope with this shift in climate change are sure to bear greater loss in future.

The picture below represents the same in data-
