#Agriculture and #climatechange have a reciprocal #relationship. Climate change affects #agricultural production through precipitation levels and temperature variations. In return, poor agricultural practices increase climate change.

In the past century, #Farmers have become extremely efficient and have taken #advantage of newer #technologies. As a result, they are producing a wider variety of #crops and producing them more efficiently.
#Agriculture plays a valuable role in our everyday lives by not only providing us with #food, but also by maintaining a strong #economy. On a #worldwide basis, more people are in some way involved in agriculture than in all other occupations combined.
#Climatechange profoundly affects the conditions under which #agricultural activities are conducted. In every region of the world, plants, animals and ecosystems have adapted to prevailing climatic conditions. They will be affected in ways that are difficult to predict precisely.
