Impact of Climate Change on Agro Ecosystems: A Global Perspective

Abstract

Climate change poses a formidable challenge to agro ecosystems worldwide, with far-reaching consequences for global food security and agricultural sustainability. This abstract provides a concise overview of the multidimensional impacts of climate change on agro ecosystems from a global perspective. By synthesizing current scientific literature and research findings, it aims to highlight the key dimensions of this complex issue. The primary focus is on the direct and indirect effects of climate change on crop production, livestock systems, and overall agricultural productivity. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and an increase in extreme weather events are identified as major drivers influencing agro ecosystems. Changes in the frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, and storms are disrupting traditional farming practices, leading to shifts in cropping patterns, decreased yields, and increased vulnerability of agricultural systems.
