6. Climate change effect on
agriculture
 The climate change has both positive and
negative impacts on production.
 Positive effect on low temperature region
having long growing season.
 In low land increased frequency and extent
of floods, droughts and land cutting has
rendered the agriculture.
 Higher temperatures provide favourable
environment for insect/pests.

7. Drawbacks of organic farming
 Incapable of producing as much food as
conventional method, can’t fulfil
requirement of food supply.
 Need large area of land for large
production, which may lead forest
degradation.
 High product cost

8. CONSUMERS’ WILLINGNESS TO
PAY FOR ORGANIC PRODUCT

11. Conclusion
 organic agriculture is more efficient and
effective both in reducing GHGs
 climate change resilience farming systems
 High disease resistance
 GON/NGOs,INGOs had initiated different
promotional activities of organic farming.
 The price of organic products compared
with conventional one is reasonable.
 Use of organic products depends upon
Education level, Family income, size etc.
