Effect of climate change crop production in the worldkwanigasuriya
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture. It notes that climate change is causing higher temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, more extreme weather events, and increased carbon dioxide and ozone levels. These changes threaten global food production by reducing crop yields. Higher CO2 increases plant growth but lowers nutrient levels. More heat waves, droughts and floods from climate change negatively impact crops and livestock. The document recommends investments in agricultural adaptation and mitigation efforts like renewable energy to address food security challenges from climate change.
The document discusses the impacts of climate change based on IPCC findings. It notes that greenhouse gas concentrations are at their highest levels in at least 420,000 years and that the planet will continue warming for decades even if emissions are reduced now. Specific impacts discussed include increasing temperatures, more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and threats to agriculture, water resources, health, and coastal areas in the Philippines from these changes.
The document discusses drought in several contexts:
1) It defines drought and describes three main types: meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural.
2) It outlines the consequences of drought including environmental, economic, and social impacts such as famine, habitat damage, and conflict over resources.
3) Several examples of historical droughts are provided, including those that affected ancient Egypt, the Maya civilization, the 1930s Dust Bowl in the US, and droughts in China and the Northern Great Plains in the 1980s-90s.
Impact of climatic change on agricultureShashi Singh
Climate change is caused by both natural and human factors such as greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel burning. It is leading to rises in global temperature, changes in precipitation patterns, more extreme weather events. These changes are negatively impacting agriculture through reduced crop yields, shifts in suitable farming areas, and increased pest and disease pressures. While some factors like carbon dioxide fertilization may slightly increase yields, the overall impacts of climate change on global agriculture are expected to be severely damaging to food production and security.

Climate change and Agriculture: Impact Aadaptation and MitigationPragyaNaithani
Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its Variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer). For the past some decades, the gaseous composition of earth’s atmosphere is undergoing a significant change, largely through increased emissions from energy, industry and agriculture sectors; widespread deforestation as well as fast changes in land use and land management practices. These anthropogenic activities are resulting in an increased emission of radiatively active gases, viz. carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), popularly known as the ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHGs)
These GHGs trap the outgoing infrared radiations from the earth’s surface and thus raise the temperature of the atmosphere. The global mean annual temperature at the end of the 20th century, as a result of GHG accumulation in the atmosphere, has increased by 0.4–0.7 ºC above that recorded at the end of the 19th century. The past 50 years have shown an increasing trend in temperature @ 0.13 °C/decade, while the rise in temperature during the past one and half decades has been much higher. The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change has projected the temperature increase to be between 1.1 °C and 6.4 °C by the end of the 21st Century (IPCC, 2007). The global warming is expected to lead to other regional and global changes in the climate-related parameters such as rainfall, soil moisture, and sea level. Snow cover is also reported to be gradually decreasing.
Therefore, concerted efforts are required for mitigation and adaptation to reduce the vulnerability of agriculture to the adverse impacts of climate change and making it more resilient.
The adaptive capacity of poor farmers is limited because of subsistence agriculture and low level of formal education. Therefore, simple, economically viable and culturally acceptable adaptation strategies have to be developed and implemented. Furthermore, the transfer of knowledge as well as access to social, economic, institutional, and technical resources need to be provided and integrated within the existing resources of farmers.
This module explains the impacts of climate change on water resources and disasters. It covers climate variability, climate change, and the effects on sectors like agriculture, energy, transport, health and water resources. Adaptation is needed to build community resilience against hydro-climatic disasters through understanding impacts and applying knowledge from the module.
Vulnerability to climate change is determined by exposure to risks, sensitivity to impacts, and ability to adapt. Adaptation involves adjusting systems in response to actual or expected climate changes to moderate harm or exploit opportunities. There are two types of adaptation: autonomous reactive adaptation and anticipatory proactive adaptation. Estimating future agricultural responses to climate change involves using scenarios to explore possible adaptive measures, as scenarios do not necessarily describe what will actually occur. Biophysical impacts of climate change include changes in crop and livestock conditions, precipitation, water resources, pests, and soil quality. These can result in changes to crops grown, farming types, production, income, employment, GDP contribution, and export earnings.

Climate change poses serious threats to Indian agriculture that could undermine food security. Studies project cereal production may decrease 10-40% by 2100 due to increased temperatures, with wheat facing greater losses. Every 1°C rise in temperature could reduce wheat production by 4-5 million tons. Adaptation strategies like new crop varieties, water management, and insurance can help minimize impacts but require significant research and policy support. Immediate action is needed on low-cost adaptation options while determining costs and policies for long-term mitigation through practices like agroforestry and soil carbon sequestration. Failure to act risks substantial economic and social damages from climate impacts on India's agricultural sector and food system.

Remote sensing application in monitoring and management of soil, water and ai...Jayvir Solanki
Remote sensing uses satellite or aircraft sensors to monitor the environment without direct contact. It can monitor soil, water, and air pollution over large areas in a timely manner. Satellite imagery is used to monitor air quality by detecting pollutants and aerosols. Water quality is monitored by measuring changes in the spectral signature of surface water caused by substances like sediments, algae, and thermal releases. Remote sensing provides synoptic views of large areas but has limitations like spectral interference and inability to distinguish low concentrations of pollutants. It is a useful tool for environmental monitoring when used in conjunction with field data.
Drought is defined as a period with less than average water supply, whether surface or underground. It can last months or years and is caused by consistently low precipitation. There are four types of drought: meteorological based on dryness compared to normal; agricultural linking dryness to farm impacts; hydrological associated with low streamflow and reservoirs; and socioeconomic when people are affected by water shortages. Drought damages include direct losses like income and indirect losses like reduced revenues. Causes are natural like less rain or human-made like overuse of water.
The document discusses the relationship between agriculture and climate change. It notes that agriculture both contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and is impacted by climate change through changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather. Agriculture accounts for 30% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, agricultural practices can also help mitigate climate change by increasing carbon sequestration in soils through conservation tillage and agroforestry. Global mitigation potential from agriculture is estimated at 5.5-6.0 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year by 2030, with soil carbon sequestration accounting for 89% of potential. Climate-smart agriculture aims to increase productivity, resilience, and mitigate emissions while enhancing food security.

It provides examples of studies that project declines in the production of crops like rice, wheat and sorghum in different parts of India due to climate change. The document also discusses how climate change may reduce milk production in India. It identifies adaptation strategies like altered cropping practices and integrated farming as ways for agriculture to build resilience against climate impacts.
Image classification, remote sensing, P K MANIP.K. Mani
Image classification involves using spectral bands of images to separate landscape features into categories. Pixels with similar spectral signatures are clustered and classified using techniques like maximum likelihood classification. This results in a classified image map where each pixel is assigned a land cover class. However, classified maps have errors, so accuracy assessment is important to estimate the map's accuracy. Supervised classification involves using training areas of known land cover to develop spectral signatures for classification, while unsupervised classification clusters pixels without prior class definitions.

The series is part of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded project called “Evaluating Impact and Building Capacity” (EIBC) that is implemented by IFPRI.
The document discusses food security challenges in the Near East and North Africa region. It notes that the region faces issues like limited water resources, high population growth, and dependence on food imports. To address these challenges, the document recommends a three pillar approach: 1) strengthening safety nets and access to resources, 2) enhancing domestic food supplies through investment, and 3) reducing market volatility through improved infrastructure and financial instruments. The global community has made reducing hunger a priority, and organizations like FAO are taking an integrated approach focused on sustainable resource management and nutrition to help food insecure regions.

This document discusses reflections on food security in Uzbekistan from a World Bank agriculture economist. It notes that household farms occupy a small percentage of land but produce over 60% of agricultural output, with value added per hectare much higher than private farms or agricultural enterprises. It also shows that cotton and wheat production receive most subsidies and use of water and fertilizer. The document suggests improving efficiency by eliminating distortive subsidies, redefining food security beyond self-sufficiency, providing more flexible land use and input/output markets, and investing in technology and innovations.

Regional Agricultural Policy:What Lessons for Africa’s CAADP from Europe’s C...Stephanie van der Walt
In 2003, the Assembly of the African Union (AU) adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) aimed at kick-starting agricultural-sector growth in all member states. While coordination takes place at the pan-African level, CAADP’s implementation is driven by parallel regional and national processes that essentially subject the Programme’s aims to pre-existing institutional and regulatory frameworks within these jurisdictions -- an approach which has historically contributed to the slow rate of integration on the continent.
In the wake of the Second World War, the founding members of the European Community (EC) responded to low agricultural outputs and widespread hunger, as faced in Africa today, by incorporating the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) into the EC’s treaty framework from the very onset.
While the CAP’s original function (i.e. to facilitate government-subsidised production) is quite different from that of CAADP (i.e. to promote agricultural investment, policy coherence and increased regional trade) its stated outcomes, namely food security, improved agricultural productivity and competitive rural incomes, are quite closely aligned. This presentation provides an overview of food insecurity in Africa currently and how the enforceablility of regional strategies have contributed to alleviating problems of production and trade barriers, with an emphasis on the European experience.

The document discusses the challenges facing global food policy. It identifies five ongoing food crises: high and volatile international food prices, starvation, childhood hunger and malnutrition, obesity and diet-related disease, and threats to long-term global food production capacity. When food prices spike, governments, media, and speculators often overreact in unhelpful ways. The document argues that the most important policy challenges are improving food systems outside of farms, achieving sustainable intensification, and addressing nutrition and health through food systems. Real food prices need not necessarily rise in the long run if various productivity improvements are achieved.

Conducting Social Science Research During and After Pandemics - Challenges an...Sethuraman Paramasivan
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for conducting social science research during and after pandemics. It notes that direct contact research methods are difficult due to travel restrictions and social distancing norms. Researchers have adapted by removing direct contact objectives, reducing sample sizes, and using online data collection methods like online surveys, email surveys, and telephone interviews. The document also discusses various online survey tools and considerations for using them, like question design, page breaks, and privacy measures. Overall it provides guidance on mitigation strategies and alternative research methods for pandemic situations.
1) The document discusses rising global food insecurity and the risks posed by factors like poverty, volatile food prices, financial crises, and climate change.
2) It outlines an agenda for research, investment, and action that includes promoting agricultural growth, innovating insurance systems, facilitating open trade, and expanding social protection programs.
3) Key recommendations include tripling investment in agricultural research and innovation, developing new insurance products for smallholders, keeping trade open during food shortages, and protecting vulnerable groups through cash transfers and nutrition programs.
1) The document discusses the challenges of sustainably increasing food production to meet growing demand by 2050 while adapting to climate change and depleting resources.
2) Some of the key challenges outlined are feeding a growing population projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, fluctuating food prices, water scarcity, disease epidemics in major crops, restrictions on germplasm exchange, and climate change impacts.
3) The document argues that addressing these interconnected global challenges will require cross-disciplinary, systems-based approaches that empower smallholders, strengthen partnerships, and implement the right policy incentives.
Strategic Options for agriculture and development in Malawi by Andrew DorwardIFPRIMaSSP
This paper considers potential strategic options for agriculture and development in Malawi in the context of the country’s current situation and the prospects the country faces. After briefly reviewing current national and sectoral policy and potential roles of agriculture in economic growth, we set out the current situation in order to consider strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
We conclude that a major emphasis is needed on supporting changes that reduce the rate of population growth and promote capacity for adaptation and resilience to climate change. Rapid increases in the productivity of agricultural land and labor and rural incomes will be critical to this (alongside increased education and empowerment of girls and women). There are, however, difficult potential trade-offs to negotiate (for example between increased irrigation and reduced inflows into Lake Malawi) and these need further consideration.
From this analysis we derive a set of nine strategic principles and two operational principles that we suggest could helpfully stimulate and guide strategy development that addresses the opportunities and threats facing Malawian agriculture. The application of these principles is illustrated by indicative consideration of policy and investment options focusing on development of different commodities and (broadly defined) resources. Consistent implementation of coordinated and consistent sectoral and inter-sectoral policies is critical for achievement of the desired growth and diversification impacts.

1) Stability of food security incorporates the ability to withstand shocks and resilience, with chronic food insecurity being constant and transitory insecurity being unpredictable or seasonal. Vulnerable groups include the rural landless, subsistence farmers, cash crop farmers, pastoralists, remote dwellers, the urban informal sector and unemployed, and female-headed households.
2) Food consumption patterns change with income level, from staples to livestock and dairy to fruits and vegetables. Demand is forecast based on population growth, income growth, and price changes using income and price elasticities.
3) Emerging challenges to food security include slower production growth, increasing demand for biofuels,

When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
