Impact of Climate Change on Crop Yield and Farmer Livelihoods in Semi-Arid Regions
Abstract
Semi-arid regions, characterized by limited rainfall and high temperature variability, are among the most vulnerable areas to climate change impacts. These regions, which support approximately 2 billion people globally, face unprecedented challenges as changing precipitation patterns, rising temperatures, and increased frequency of extreme weather events threaten agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. This research article examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on crop yields and farmer livelihoods in semi-arid regions, analyzing both direct and indirect effects while exploring adaptation strategies and policy implications.
