Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture worldwide, and India, with its vast agricultural sector, is particularly vulnerable. The impacts of climate change on Indian agriculture include changes in crop yields, economic stress on farmers, and broader implications for food security and rural livelihoods. This synthesis examines the key findings from multiple research papers on the effects of climate change on Indian farmers and agriculture.

Climate change poses a severe threat to Indian agriculture, with projected decreases in crop yields, significant economic stress on farmers, and broader implications for food security and rural livelihoods. Effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, including the development of stress-tolerant crops, improved irrigation, and better land management, are crucial. Policymakers must prioritize support for farmers through increased access to information, capital, and technology to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture.
