Abstract
Correction: 25th August 2016 - p.260 paragraph 1 line 8 'Table 2' was changed to 'Table 8'Climate change has heterogeneous effect on crop production. Potential yield of some crops were found to be decreasing in different simulation models. High temperature, drought, salinity, excessive rain fall are the major stresses faced by crops in a changing climatic condition. Coastal areas of Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to climate change. It was found that a total of 1,405.57 MT yield are lost in different crops. Data shows the production trends of many crops remaining in a steady state or their increase is very slow compared to elapse of time. Some possible adaptation measures such as sorjan system, floating bed agriculture, growing crops in raised beds, harvesting rain water, cultivation of salt and flood tolerant crop varieties etc. were suggested to reduce possible climate change risk and to cope up with the current situation.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(2): 251-269, August 2016
Highlights
Climate change and crop production are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale
The impacts of climate change on crop production are expected to be widespread across the globe, studies suggest that African agriculture is likely to be most affected due to heavy reliance on lowinput rainfed agriculture and due to its low adaptive capacity (Mertz et al, 2009)
Food and forestry trades are projected to increase in response to climate change with increased dependence on food imports for most developing countries
Summary
Climate change and crop production are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale. It describes how weather patterns will be affected around the globe. Global warming describes an average temperature increase of the earth over time. Global warming is projected to have significant impacts on conditions affecting agriculture, including temperature, carbon dioxide, glacial run-off, precipitation and the interaction of these elements. These conditions determine the carrying capacity of the biosphere to produce enough food for the human population and domesticated animals. The overall effect of climate change on agriculture will depend on the balance of these effects
