Description Climate change is probably the most complex and
intractable environmental challenge faced by the
world today and is increasingly being recognized as a
potent threat to agriculture in general and specific to food
security (Pattanayak & Kumar, 2014; Mahapatra et al.,
2021). Without a doubt, climate change is occurring and
already has significant impacts through increased climatic
variability, global temperatures, and sea level (Masters
et al., 2010; Sharma et al., 2018). Climate change will
continue to significantly impact agriculture, reflecting the
close link between climate (temperature and precipitation
in particular) and agriculture productivity. These effects
are likely to have the greatest impacts in the low-income
countries of the tropical zones where agricultural
productivity would decrease. Climate variability and
change influence ecosystems, food security, health,
and other domains fundamental to human existence
and well-being (Ghosh-Jerath et al., 2021). An increased
frequency of extreme events, heat stress, droughts, and
floods negatively impact crop yields (Masters et al., 2010).
These negative impacts of climate change on agricultural
and food production has got the attention of the global
research community to undertake rigorous research in
this area (Joshi et al., 2016).
