ABSTRACT

This paper made a modest attempt to give an insight into impact of climate change on agricultural sector in India. Agriculture sector in India is defenseless to climate change. Any small changes in the climate affects the production adversely. The climate change is the long-term shift in temperature and weather patterns. The climate change can result in low crop yields and effect quality of nutrition in agricultural sector. A 2021 study estimates that the severity of heat wave and drought impact on crop production tripled over last 50 years in Europe from losses of 2.2% during 1964-1990 to losses of 7.3% in 1991-2015. It is clear that climate change and Agriculture sector has greater connectivity with each other and climate change adversely affects the productivity. This paper will be helpful to implementable policies.

Key words: Agriculture, Climate change and Productivity.
