Crop Adaptation And Climate Change: Existing Issues And Future Directions

Abstract

Crop yields are anticipated to be significantly impacted by climate change due to variations in temperature and water availability. Therefore, the goal of adaptation and mitigation strategies is to maintain development while attempting a gradual reversal of the effects of climate change. Several adaptation and mitigation strategies can be used to successfully combat the effects of climate change and achieve desired outcomes. These techniques can be broadly classified as resource conservation-based technologies, socioeconomic and policy interventions, and undercropping/cropping system-based technologies. These actions are discussed in order to offer practical approaches to mitigating climate change, with particular emphasis on India.
