Impact of Climate Change in Indian Agriculture: Special Emphasis to Soybean (Glycine Max (L.) Merr.)
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The impact of climate change on agriculture will be one of the major deciding factors influencing the future food security of mankind on earth. Agriculture is not only sensitive to climate change but, at the same time, is one of the major drivers for climate change. Understanding the weather changes over a period of time and adjusting the management practices towards achieving better harvest is a challenge to the growth of agricultural sector as a whole. The most imminent climatic changes in recent times is the increase in the atmospheric temperatures due to increased levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ozone (O3), nitrous oxide (N2O) and chloro fluoro carbons (CFCs). Because of the increasing concentrations of those radiative or greenhouse gases, there is much concern about future changes in our climate and direct or indirect effect on agriculture Garg et al. [1]; IPCC [2]; Krupa [3]; Aggarwal [4]. In India, studies by several authors have shown that during the last century there is observed increasing trend in surface temperature Hingane et al. [5]; Srivastava et al. [6]; Pant et al. [7]; Singh et al., 2001, no significant trend in rainfall on all India basis Pant et al. [7]; Mooley and Parthasarathy [8]; Thapliyal and Kulshrestha [9]; Pant and Rupakumar [10]; Stephenson et al. [11], and decreasing/ increasing trends in rainfall on regional basis. In recent years, with the growing recognition of the possibility of global climate change, an increasing emphasis on world food security in general and its regional impacts in particular have come to the forefront of the scientific community.
