Climate Change and Agriculture - JSS1 Agricultural science Lesson Note

1. Changing Growing Conditions: Climate change alters temperature, precipitation patterns, and growing seasons, impacting the suitability of certain crops in specific regions.

2. Water Scarcity: Changes in precipitation and increased evaporation can lead to water scarcity, affecting irrigation and crop yields.

3. Extreme Weather Events: More frequent and intense weather events, such as storms and droughts, pose risks to agricultural productivity.

4. Adaptive Agriculture: Farmers need to adopt adaptive strategies, including crop diversification, water management, and soil conservation, to cope with climate change challenges.
