How does climate change affect agriculture?

Climate change has a significant impact on agriculture, as it alters temperature patterns, precipitation levels, and extreme weather events. These changes can lead to shifts in crop growing seasons and distribution, decreased crop yields, increased pest and disease occurrences, and reduction of water availability for irrigation. Farmers are forced to adapt to these changes by implementing new farming techniques, using more resilient crop varieties, and investing in technology to mitigate the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity. Additionally, climate change also threatens food security and poses challenges for global food production and distribution.
