THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTURE

Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to global agricultural systems, impacting crop yields, livestock productivity, and food security. This article examines the economic ramifications of climate change on agriculture, emphasizing changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events. We analyse the direct and indirect costs of climate-related disruptions, assess regional vulnerabilities, and evaluate adaptation strategies. The findings highlight the urgent need for policy interventions and innovative agricultural practices to mitigate economic losses and sustain food production in the face of climate variability.
