Abstract

Climate change exists in a variety of forms such as temperature fluctuation, changing rainfall pattern, flood, and disease which impose negative impact on crop production and are alarming for food security. Climatic variations chiefly affect the agroecology in a number of ways, but the effects vary along with latitudes and longitudes. As agricultural production is dependent on climate and environment, food security is threatened by climate change. The effects of climate change on agriculture and food security may be minimized by adopting advanced agricultural and biotechnological techniques. This chapter summarizes the advanced research work on the role of modern biotechnology to ensure the global food security.
