WILL THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SUFFICE TO OVERCOME THE CHANGING CLIMATE?

Abstract

Negligence, selfishness, corruption and lack of true education of the people are reasons for the climate change and deterioration of environment. These conditions also have been negatively affecting the growth and production of common crops. On the otherside, the population is increasing exponentially every year. The agricultural production also should be increased to meet the demand of the rising population. However, the land available for the agriculture is limited. It is neither increasing nor at constant level, but it is gradually decreasing year after year due to various reasons. It is a continuous challenge to produce the sufficient food for the continually increasing populations under the drastically changing climatic conditions. Several varieties of crops have been developed by the agricultural scientists that would sustain in the drastic climatic conditions and simultaneously produce more yield. However, government should also concentrate on the normalization of the environmental conditions and should see that the people get the true education which would help in protecting the environment and whereby the climatic conditions would be normalized over couple of decades.
