Description The escalating impact of climate change has emerged
as a pivotal concern of the 21st century, transcending
geographical boundaries and affecting myriad facets of
human existence. Among the various sectors grappling
with its consequences, the domain of food production
stands at the forefront, intricately interwoven with
the well-being of societies and the stability of global
economies. Climate change, driven predominantly by
anthropogenic activities, has triggered alterations in
temperature patterns, precipitation regimes, and the
frequency of extreme weather events (Li et. al, 2023).
These transformations have cascading effects on the
agricultural landscape, compelling a comprehensive
examination of the intricate nexus between climate
variability and food production (Haq et al, 2015).
In the context of India, a nation where agriculture forms
the bedrock of its economy and sustenance, the impact of
climate change on food production assumes paramount
significance. With a population projected to reach over
1.6 billion by 2050 (James, 2011), ensuring food security
in the face of changing climatic conditions becomes
a complex challenge with far-reaching implications.
India’s geographical diversity, encompassing everything
from arid deserts to fertile plains and coastal regions,
renders it particularly susceptible to the vicissitudes
of climate change. The escalating concentration of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has propelled
shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and the
frequency of extreme weather events. These alterations,
superimposed upon the intricate tapestry of India’s
agricultural landscape, have the potential to disrupt crop
cycles, affect water availability, and induce perturbations
across the entire food supply chain.
