Abstract
The accelerating pace of climate change poses significant risks to agricultural systems around the globe. This study analyzes the impact of climate variability and long‑term climatic trends on agricultural productivity over recent decades using time‑series data from multiple climatic and agricultural databases. Through statistical modeling and econometric analysis, the research identifies the relationship between temperature fluctuations, precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and crop yields for staple crops such as wheat, maize, and rice across diverse geographical regions. Results indicate that rising temperatures and increased variability in precipitation significantly depress yields, with heterogeneous effects across zones. Notably, semi‑arid regions show amplified negative impacts compared to temperate zones. The study underscores the importance of adaptive strategies to buffer agricultural systems against climate stressors and emphasizes policy interventions that foster resilience in food production. These findings contribute to improved climate‑agriculture integration in environmental and agricultural policy frameworks.
