Climate Change Agriculture Detailed

This research paper analyzes the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity and food security over the past three decades, focusing on temperature, rainfall, and CO2 levels. It finds that crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa have decreased by 10-20% due to climate change, with adaptation strategies showing limited effectiveness. The paper calls for urgent policy action to support smallholder farmers and fund adaptation technologies.

Research Paper: Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture

Abstract

This research examines how climate change affects agricultural productivity and food security, using

data from the last three decades. Key variables include temperature, rainfall, and CO2

concentration.

1. Introduction

Climate change has led to altered growing seasons and increased incidence of extreme weather

events. This directly impacts crop yields and rural livelihoods.

2. Methodology

Regression analysis and climate modeling were used to estimate the impact of temperature

anomalies on maize and wheat yields in Sub-Saharan Africa.

3. Results

Yields dropped 10-20% in the most affected regions. Adaptation strategies such as crop

diversification and irrigation were found to be partially effective.

4. Conclusion

Urgent policy action is needed to fund adaptation technologies and support smallholder farmers.
