While examining the impacts on crops, we will look at the effects of such phenomenon as extreme temperature (which may be hot or cold), increased CO2 concentration and the adverse effects of elevated exposure to ultraviolet rays on processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis and pollination to fully evaluate the effects of the global warming phenomenon.
CO2 increase is generally very constructive in the growth of crops. It stimulates their growth and yield by enabling the photosynthesis process. Crops such as wheat, carrot, and cauliflower, thrive well in conditions of elevated CO2 levels in the atmosphere. They have wider leaves and produce much better under such conditions. High temperatures, on the other hand, can also have an effective …show more content…
Such incidents also promote dependency on irrigation and other artificial means of enabling crop growth, which may not be possible in poverty stricken areas (Lobbell, 2012). Other effects of climate change like increased precipitation levels contribute to negative food production by incapacitating the farmers’ ability to travel to the farm site for manure and fertilizer application to boost plant growth or even to transport their yields to the market.
Effects of global climate change on crop growth and yield should be evaluated holistically. While certain trends like increased CO2 concentration and increased rainfall may promote production in some regions, we have to factor in other phenomena like the undiscovered effects of over exposure to ultraviolet rays and emergencies like tsunamis and dry winds, which are concurrent effects of global climate change in the final evaluation process.

Evidence of the change is already evidenced in some regions although research is not conclusive on the full impacts of continuity of global warming which greatly influences the change. It has led to unpredictability in agriculture and limited food supply owing to increased rainfall, dry winds occurrence and high temperatures and conditions that favor the persistence of pests, parasites, diseases, and weeds. Farmers, researchers, and industry owners should play active roles in taming the continuity of rapid global climate change. Education and policy developments should be effected all through and versatility in food production to promote GMOs should be encouraged in the same likeness. The menace requires collective efforts to tame and reduce and humans should play better heed to not just their needs, but those of future generations with regards to issues of global warming, climate change and their effects on crop and livestock
