Prediction of impact of climate change on agricultural production through land suitability analysis

Abstract

Climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying, with many climatic trends now irreversible, at least for the present time frame. The attribution of these changes to human influence has been further strengthened by the latest much-anticipated Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC report (IPCC., 2021; Climate Change., 20211 ). Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes globally. Evidence of observed changes in extremes includes increasing incidences of heat waves, heavy precipitation, droughts, and tropical cyclones. Changes in precipitation trend and severity (Li et al., 2019; Storch et al., 1993; Rahman and Islam, 2019) and meteorological drought are also evident. Climate change is also one of the most pressing problems of the twenty-first century, threatening the capability of humanity to fulfil fundamental human needs as well as detrimental to human health. The most visible signs of climate change. According to the United Nations World Food Program, changes in rainfall patterns have led to an increased likelihood of crop failure, and extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and storms can exacerbate food security problems globally (Climate Impacts on Food Security and Livelihoods in Asia, UN World Food Program.,2016).
