Abstract

Climate change presents a formidable challenge to global agricultural production, with significant implications for food security, rural livelihoods, and economic stability. This review explores the potential effects of climate change on agriculture, focusing on key climatic factors such as rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels. These changes directly impact crop yields, and also exacerbating plant disease. The review highlights the impacts of climate change, with developing countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, facing disproportionate risks due to limited adaptive capacity. In Nigeria, for instance, erratic rainfall, prolonged droughts, and desertification threaten staple crop production and increasing food insecurity and rural poverty. Policymakers must also implement supportive frameworks to facilitate the transition to climate-smart agriculture and ensure equitable access to resources and technologies.This review underscores the urgent need for comprehensive research and policy action to address the complex challenges posed by climate change on agriculture, emphasizing the importance of integrating scientific knowledge, local practices, and innovative solutions to safeguard global food systems.
