Climate Change and the Fall of Agricultural Production in Some Selected Regions of India

Abstract

Climate is changing naturally at its own pace, since the beginning of the evolution of earth, billion years ago, but presently, it has gained momentum due to inadvertent anthropogenic disturbances. These changes may culminate in adverse impact on human health and the biosphere on which we depend. The study revealed that there is decline in yield of maize, wheat and potatoes in the study area. Moreover, both the farmers and Government of India are trying to reduce the negative impacts of Climate change on Agricultural production through various adaptive strategies and programs. Some adaptation measures employed by farmers include seed banking, integrated farm management and irrigation among others, while the government of India employs farmers awareness programs on climate change, establishment of village climate risk management committee (VCRMC), provision of weather insurance, establishment of crop calendar rainfall pattern, provision of loss payment through weather insurance, establishment of pest calendar and establishment of one rain gauge for one village as adaptive strategies consequently.
