Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Climate affects all components of crop production (area, intensity and yield).

•

Yet, most studies to date have focussed on estimating climate impacts on yields.

•

We review the literature on the climatic impacts on cropping area and intensity.

•

We outline major knowledge gaps and discuss future research needs.

Climate change can disrupt food availability, reduce access to food, and affect food quality. For example, projected increases in temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, changes in extreme weather events, and reductions in water availability may all result in reduced agricultural productivity.
