Sector Briefing on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: Agriculture
Asian Development Bank | January 2012
Abstract
Climate change is projected to have a wide range of impacts on various aspects of the agriculture sector. Overall, it is suggested that climate change will significantly undermine crop production in the region, posing a serious threat to food security, even after adaptation and productivity improvements have been accounted for. Effective adaptation in this sector will be of crucial importance.
