Abstract
Climate change and adaptation options in Indian agriculture are examined in this paper. Human-caused climate change causes increasing temperatures and harsh weather. Heat stress reduces agricultural production and quality as temperatures rise. Farmers adjust by changing planting dates and creating climate-resilient crops. Drought may parch farmlands and kill crops due to unusual or inadequate rainfall. However, heavy rainfall may cause floods, which destroys crops and soil and disrupts agriculture, particularly during the monsoon. Food security and resource recycling are promoted via soil conservation, precision agriculture, and urban food production. Better irrigation and water management are needed to address water constraint. Climate change threatens global food security by affecting agricultural pests. Traditional methods, resource-conservation technology, and socio-economic initiatives are used for adaptation. Precision agriculture boosts yields and resilience. Regional appropriateness, economic viability, and collaborative execution determine success. Agriculture faces legislative, economic, and climatic uncertainty in a complex socio-ecological system. Smallholdersresilience and food security depend on site-specific climate-smart agriculture. Public agricultural extension agencies may assist embrace these technologies, but financial and cultural hurdles must be addressed. This assessment emphasises the need for comprehensive, context-specific methods to address climate change vulnerabilities in Indian agriculture and secure food production and peasant livelihoods.
