%X Climate change is becoming severe and has had a  negative impact on agriculture and farmers’ livelihoods  in Thailand. The climate change impacts on crop yield  possibly leads to food insecurity globally. Scientists  have projected a major climate change in the middle  of the 21st century (2045-2065). The average monthly  maximum temperature in Thailand is expected to  increase by 3-4ºC and monthly minimum temperature  is expected to increase by more than 4ºC throughout  the country (Chinvanno 2010). The regions, ie, the  Northeast, Central and the Northern, received less  than 1,200 mm annual rainfall (1970-2005) and it is  the driest area of the country. Agriculture in Thailand  is already impacted by frequent drought or dry spells,  flood, unpredictable rainfall and heat waves.
