Description :
The climate change is one of the major concerns for the world today. Particularly increase in earth’s temperature has become the major problem. The last two decades has witnessed the rise of earth’s temperature ranging between 2 to 6 degree Celsius. The major reasons for this climate change are mostly manmade. The excessive industrialization, release of hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide generated out of industrialization and excessive burning of fossil fuel causes pollution. Along with these issues the waste water of the industries released into the rivers causes water pollution.
Both air and water pollution culminate into the greenhouse effect that ultimately leads to the increase in temperature in earth’s atmosphere. These pollutions; however, is having worst impact on the Indian agriculture. Particularly the soil health and quality of crops have become major concerns for the new age farmers. In this context, the present research paper attempts to assess the impact of climate change on the agriculture sector in India. It also attempts to come up with certain suggestions and strategies that would enable Indian farmers to cope with the challenge’s climate change have raised for them.
