Abstract

Most of the population of Asian and African countries completely depend on rice for their daily food, and 90% of world rice comes from Asia. Nearly four and half billion of the total world population completely depend on rice as a primary source of their food. In India and other parts of the world, rice is taken as a staple food. Considering its importance, the United Nation declared the year 2004 as the International Year of Rice. The sustainable goals of the United Nation are to reduce hunger, poverty, malnutrition, yearning, and ailing health of the world. A 100 g of white, short-grain, and cooked rice contains 130 calories, 28.7 g carbohydrate, 2.36 g protein, and 0.19 g fat. Agriculture, horticulture, agroforestry, and all agriculture-related ecosystems are very much closely linked with climatic variables. So climate change and its impact on all these agro-ecosystems have been the prime agenda for research in recent times. Environmental changes and extreme biotic and abiotic stresses are posing genuine hurdles for rice production which affects badly to farmers’ livelihood. There is an earnest need to devise and outline systematic procedures against these extremes, to adapt against these negative effects of climate change. The current chapter gives an outline of the ongoing studies on climate change and its likely effects on rice productivity and quality. Further, it suggests the mitigation strategy through crop improvement and crop management technologies.
