Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of climate change on crop yields and farm income in a specific region. Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity and food security globally, with its effects varying across regions. The specific region under study in this research faces unique environmental conditions that make it particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the relationship between climate change, crop yields, and farm income in this region, thereby contributing to the existing body of knowledge in agricultural economics and climate change adaptation strategies. The research methodology adopted for this study involves a combination of quantitative analysis, field surveys, and statistical modeling. Data on historical climate patterns, crop yields, and farm income will be collected and analyzed to assess the trends and patterns in the region. The study will also consider the perceptions and adaptation strategies of local farmers in response to changing climatic conditions. By examining these factors, the research aims to identify the key drivers of change in crop yields and farm income and assess the effectiveness of current adaptation measures. The literature review provides a comprehensive overview of previous studies on climate change impacts on agriculture, crop modeling techniques, and adaptation strategies. The review highlights the gaps in existing knowledge and sets the stage for the empirical analysis in this study. The research findings are expected to shed light on the specific challenges faced by farmers in the region and offer recommendations for policy interventions and adaptive measures to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on agricultural productivity and farm income. The discussion of findings will present a detailed analysis of the data collected, including statistical trends, correlations between climate variables and crop yields, and the economic implications for local farmers. The results will be interpreted in the context of existing theoretical frameworks in agricultural economics and climate change adaptation. The study will also explore the implications of the findings for policy formulation and the design of sustainable agricultural practices in the region. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the understanding of the complex interactions between climate change, crop yields, and farm income in a specific region. By providing empirical evidence and practical insights, the study aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and local stakeholders about the challenges and opportunities for building climate-resilient agricultural systems. The recommendations proposed in this research can guide future interventions aimed at enhancing the adaptive capacity of farmers and ensuring food security in the face of climate change uncertainties.
