Evaluation of Climate Change on Agricultural Production in Afghanistan
Evaluation of Climate Change on Agricultural Production in Afghanistan
This review article focuses on evaluation of climate change on Agricultural production in Afghanistan. Because a large portion of the population in Afghanistan relies on farming as a source of income, sustainable agricultural techniques are essential. In addition, one of the south Asian nations affected by climate change is Afghanistan. Crop yields are also very low due to negative effects of climate change. The yields of crops like wheat, rice, and corn have recently continued to decline because of the recent drought related to agriculture; livestock, connected dynamics of desertification, land degradation, water, economic sectors, urban, and energy are the most likely negative effects of climate change in Afghanistan. Climate models predict that Afghanistan will be subject to a variety of new and increasing climatic dangers. Climate change has already begun and will not stop, that it is expected to affect different biological processes differently.
