Temperatures have risen by 0.9° since the nineteenth century, mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions. According to estimates, by 2050, this temperature increase will be around 1.5 °C or even higher. Climate change affects crop and livestock production, hydrological equilibrium, and other components of farming systems. Given the fundamental role of agriculture in human well-being, federal agencies have expressed concerns over the potential effects of climate on agricultural productivity. The agricultural sector’s impact on climate change and global warming is through greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Methane gas has themost significant potential for globalwarming, which is about 300 times more than carbon dioxide.WMOforecast models say by 2100, air temperature will increase by 2-5 °C. Climate change is experienced at high latitudes due to rising temperatures, longer growing seasons, plant densities, increased photosynthesis, and improved crop yields. At lower latitudes, rising temperatures create environmental problems such as drought stress and limited crop yields.
