Introduction
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today, with far-reaching implications for various sectors, including agriculture. As the global climate continues to change, the impact on agricultural productivity is becoming increasingly evident. Changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are affecting crop yields, livestock production, and overall food security. In order to address these challenges, it is essential to understand the specific ways in which climate change is impacting agriculture and to develop strategies to mitigate these effects.
This thesis aims to explore the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity, with a focus on how changing climatic conditions are affecting crop production, livestock management, and overall food security. By examining the latest research and data on this topic, the thesis seeks to provide insights into the challenges facing farmers and policymakers and to propose potential solutions to address these challenges.
