Abstract

Climate change is probably the most complex and intractable environmental challenge faced by the world today and is increasingly being recognized as a potent threat to agriculture in general and specific to food security (Pattanayak & Kumar, 2014; Mahapatra et al., 2021). Without a doubt, climate change is occurring and already has significant impacts through increased climatic variability, global temperatures, and sea level (Masters et al., 2010; Sharma et al., 2018). Climate change will continue to significantly impact agriculture, reflecting the close link between climate (temperature and precipitation in particular) and agriculture productivity. These effects are likely to have the greatest impacts in the low-income countries of the tropical zones where agricultural productivity would decrease. Climate variability and change influence ecosystems, food security, health, and other domains fundamental to human existence and well-being (Ghosh-Jerath et al., 2021). An increased frequency of extreme events, heat stress, droughts, and floods negatively impact crop yields (Masters et al., 2010). These negative impacts of climate change on agricultural and food production has got the attention of the global research community to undertake rigorous research in this area (Joshi et al., 2016).
