ABSTRACT—
Climate change is one of the great challenges facing agriculture in the world because it changes weather patterns, affects the health of the soil, and lowers crop production. This study explores the complex relationship between climate change and agriculture with an emphasis on how variability in crop yields arises due to a change in climatic variables, including temperature fluctuations, changes in precipitation, and extreme weather events. The paper integrates short- and long-term impacts of climate change on various crops in different regions with special attention to the vulnerable farming
community. Adaptive strategies, including climate-resilient crops, improved irrigation techniques, and technological innovations, are further considered as potential sources of mitigation against the adverse effects of climate change on agricultural productivity. Results suggest that sustainable agricultural practices are supported by a confluence of multiple factors over research and findings from science, policy intervention, and technological innovation in this changing climate.

Index Terms—Climate change, agriculture, crop yield variabil- ity, adaptive strategies, extreme weather events, soil health, irriga- tion techniques, climate-resilient crops, agricultural productivity.
