Climate change is likely to affect all sectors of the economy, but nowhere does it matter so supremely as in agriculture for the developing world.
Climate change and agriculture are interrelated processes that impact global food production, weather conditions, and soil properties. Climate change negatively affects agriculture, contributing to droughts, crop failures, and the loss of pasture grazing land for livestock. Mitigating the effects of climate change on agriculture is crucial, as agriculture itself contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and is responsible for over a quarter of total global emissions.
