Prioritizing Agriculture Sectors In Climate Change Adaptation

Prioritizing Agriculture Sectors In Climate Change Adaptation Prioritizing agriculture sectors in climate change adaptation changing climatic conditions and more frequent extreme weather events will negatively affect the livelihoods of rural people and food and nutrition security. natural hazards and disasters in developing countries countries have made agriculture sectors a priority for climate action. Adaptation of the agricultural sector to climate change requires expansion of crop variability and, proper irrigation management, as well as large investments in farmers, scientists and private development organizations (rosenzweig and parry, 1994; aryal et al., 2020; rattis et al., 2021). therefore, sustainable adaptation is essential for.

Priority Themes For Climate Change Adaptation Climate change affects agriculture in a number of ways. changes in temperature and precipitation as well as weather and climate extremes are already influencing crop yields and livestock productivity in europe. weather and climate conditions also affect the availability of water needed for irrigation, livestock watering practices, processing of agricultural products, and transport and storage. The agriculture and land use sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, and forestry) feature prominently in the ndcs, with up to 97 and 89% of developing countries prioritizing climate change adaptation and mitigation, respectively, in one or more agricultural sub sectors (fao 2016b). the main objective of this paper is to provide a. Adaptation is a key factor that will shape the future severity of climate change impacts on food production ().although relatively inexpensive changes, such as shifting planting dates or switching to an existing crop variety, may moderate negative impacts, the biggest benefits will likely result from more costly measures including the development of new crop varieties and expansion of. The analysis is based on a review of the status of national programs for m&e of cc adaptation and the implementation in those countries of the project “adaptation to climate change impacts in.
