Climate Change and Agriculture India

Climate change significantly threatens agriculture in India, impacting crop yields, soil fertility, and water resources. Rising temperatures and irregular monsoons disrupt crop production, while regional disparities lead to flooding in the east and droughts in the west. Adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops and improved irrigation techniques are essential for mitigating these effects.

Research Report: Climate Change and Agriculture in India

Title: The Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture in India

Abstract:

Climate change poses a significant threat to agriculture in India, affecting crop yields, soil fertility, and wate

1. Introduction:

India is an agrarian economy where over 60% of the population is engaged in agriculture. Climate variabilit

2. Effects on Crop Production:

- Rising temperatures reduce the growing period of crops like wheat.

- Irregular monsoons affect sowing patterns and crop yields.

- Increased CO2 may enhance photosynthesis but reduce nutritional quality.

3. Soil and Water Resources:

- Climate change leads to soil erosion, reduced organic matter.

- Increased evapotranspiration leads to higher irrigation demand.

4. Regional Impact:

- Eastern states face flood risks; western regions suffer from droughts.

- Coastal agriculture is affected by rising sea levels and salinity.

5. Adaptation Strategies:

- Climate-resilient crops and early warning systems.

- Improved irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler systems.


- Policy support and farmer awareness programs.

6. Conclusion:

A multi-disciplinary approach involving science, technology, and policy is essential to mitigate the adverse e
