Abstract :Food production has been adversely influenced through unstable switch in climate conditions, there is currently rise in the requirement of food as a result of higher global population. One of the important factors that influence the occurrence of greenhouse gas to weather condition swift is carbon dioxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CO2);, there is overall clear outcome on crops development. when carbon dioxide level rises, also the level of photosynthesis and carbon absorption rise and this process is termed as carbon dioxide enrichment, and this situation leads to various environmental issues that affects food production. Accessibility to moisture, atmospheric contamination and soil potency have tremendous effects on agricultural production. An unstable rapid change in climate conditions in the face of global food insecurity that occurred through extreme adverse climate condition which have influence on food production, several food systems have been influenced negatively, and hereby, putting the food production system at risk. Yield of several crops have been dwindling and low output recovered in some nations as a result of drought, heat wave, livestock and fisheries are likewise tremendously affected in terms of disease outbreak, low productivity in yield. Food availability and accessibility is the major and essential climatic -linked issues, due to the fact that global poverty is increasing day by day and food would become scarce and unaffordable. The way to prevent shortage in food production is to mitigate the effects of climate change and also to adopt techniques and approach to sideline its impacts and enhance food productivity.
