Article Synopsis
- Climate change adversely affects agriculture in India, particularly cereal production, which constitutes 92% of the country's food grain output.
- The study analyzed data from 1960 to 2018 using econometric techniques to assess both climatic (like temperature and precipitation) and non-climatic factors (like fertilizer usage) on cereal production.
- Findings indicate that cereal area, fertilizer consumption, and precipitation positively impact production in the long term, highlighting the need for policymakers to implement sustainable practices to mitigate climate change effects on agriculture.
