Impact of Climate Change on Crop Yield in Semi-Arid Regions

Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity worldwide, with semi-arid regions being particularly vulnerable due to their inherent water scarcity and temperature extremes. This article examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on crop yields in semi-arid regions, analyzing temperature fluctuations, precipitation patterns, drought frequency, and adaptive strategies. The research synthesizes current literature to provide insights into the mechanisms through which climate change affects agricultural systems and explores potential mitigation approaches for sustainable food security.
