Abstracts

Climate change is a major global challenge, with agriculture being highly vulnerable. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation, and extreme weather events threaten crop yields, livestock productivity, and food security. These changes increase risks such as heat stress, droughts, floods, and pest outbreaks. This study analyzes the impacts of climate change on agriculture and highlights adaptive strategies to enhance resilience and sustainability.
