Abstract
Perhaps the greatest problem the world is currently facing is climate change, and the future existence of man depends on how effectively this challenge is currently tackled. Climate change phenomenon has resulted in disasters across the globe. Sustainability of agriculture, habitation and human healthiness depends on how quickly and effectively we are able to tackle this problem. On a global scale, both agriculture and climate are interconnected processes. The projected effects of global warming on agro-climatic conditions, such as temperature and precipitation in particular, moreover on glacier run-off in general, are expected to be significantly increased. These factors determine the biosphere's ability to sustainably generate food for both humans and animals. Crop production would also be affected by rising carbon dioxide levels. The imbalance of climatic factors due to climate change will determine the consequences of climate change on the agriculture and allied sectors. Understanding the global climate change phenomenon, will help us to effectively foresee and modify farming practices to sustain and increase agricultural production. According to recent scientific findings, India will face an adverse effect of global warming. Food security and productivity, fresh water availability, forest biodiversity, fisheries, and other agri allied activities would suffer adversely. Unfortunately, the people that depend on farming, fishing, and living in the forests will be badly impacted through climate change.
