The climate issue has been trending worldwide, and we can see consequences, especially in agriculture. This year, we have witnessed unseasonal rain, heat, and snow, threatening the livelihood and food security.
We all know climate change occurs due to an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere, particularly gases like CO2, methane, and other harmful gases. What happens is that when heat or sunlight reaches to earth's atmosphere, it gets captured by these harmful gases, and the heat doesn't reflect, leading to temperature rise and global warming. Due to the rapid increase in fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial process, and urbanization, there is an increase in greenhouse gases.
Unseasonal rain, severe drought, floods, and heat waves are extreme weather events affecting agriculture. Because of this, crop yield, soil health, and quality are affected, which can directly cause damage to the livelihood of people.
Due to climate changes, pest and crop diseases spread to new areas; unwanted climate changes can introduce new pests or diseases to areas without harmful effects. It can cause serious damage to livestock.
Due to the rise in temperature and drought, water scarcity is decreasing daily, which highly affects agriculture's soil and water needs.
