Thesis Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of climate change on agricultural productivity. It will analyze the various ways in which changing climatic conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events, impact crop yields, livestock production, and overall farm profitability. The research will also explore potential adaptation and mitigation strategies to help farmers cope with the challenges posed by climate change and maintain sustainable agricultural productivity.
