Abstract :Climate is a vital aspect of agriculture production. Change in climate is caused when greenhouse gases are released into the air. High concentration of gases like methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide are the reason of global climate change. Climate change will cause high sea level, modified rainfall patterns and high atmospheric temperatures. As temperature gets higher, crop yields are most probably suffering if dry episodes occur during early stages. Climate changes have endangered the agriculture productivity making it susceptible both physically and economically. Globally, high frequency of unpredictable weather conditions will lead to decrease the agricultural productivity and greater prices, which will lead to food security concerns. Adaptations like alterations in variety of crops, upgraded irrigation and water management system and variation in planting plans and cultivation practices will be vital in restraining the negative impact and taking benefit of the positive effects of climate changes.
