QUESTION 1 [100]
The Impact of Climate Change on Plant Production
Introduction
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges that agriculture faces today.
The gradual shifts in climate patterns, caused largely by human activities such as
burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have significant implications for plant
production systems worldwide. Small-scale farmers, who are often the backbone of
local economies and food security, are particularly vulnerable due to their limited
resources and adaptive capacity. This seminar aims to raise awareness among
these farmers about the impacts of climate change on their crops, highlight the
urgency of climate action, and propose practical solutions for mitigating these
effects.
Understanding the Impact of Climate Change on Plant Production
Climate change affects plant production through various mechanisms, including
variability in temperature, changes in precipitation patterns, increased severity and
frequency of extreme weather events, and the emergence of new pests and
diseases.
