Abstract

This study evaluated several crop development techniques in addition to the effects of climate change on productivity in agriculture. Climate affects agricultural productivity and the distribution of crops worldwide. Given the current and projected variations in temperature, precipitation, and carbon dioxide concentrations, it is unclear whether agroecosystems will be able to produce enough food to meet the world's needs. Crop output, water productivity, and soil water balance are frequently altered by climate change. Soil moisture content and groundwater levels will be affected by the immediate effects of global warming-induced changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. Agricultural output is affected by several factors, such as crop variety, growing circumstances, soil deterioration, and water availability. Modern agricultural systems use genetics, biotechnology, plant breeding, environmental monitoring, and adjustments to management techniques to adapt to climate change. On the other hand, without a more thorough approach to agricultural systems, development cannot proceed. A strategy like this would mean growing amounts of a wider variety of superior crops and advancing equity, sustainability, nutrition, and food security in the future.
