“CLIMATE CHANGE AND AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: CHALLENGES AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES”
Keywords:
climate change, agriculture, food security, sustainable farming, adaptationAbstract
Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues of the 21st century. It
directly affects agriculture through rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, and frequent
natural disasters. These changes reduce crop yields, harm soil quality, and threaten
food security. At the same time, farmers are trying to adapt with sustainable practices
such as water-saving irrigation, drought-resistant crops, and renewable energy.
International cooperation and climate-smart farming are essential to protect rural
communities and ensure long-term development.
