This paper provides a comprehensive review of various reports, articles documents and papers literature related to the assessment of climate change impacts on crop productivity, and will focus on how climate change and affects agriculture productivity. Agricultural practice is affected by climate changes because of its direct dependence on climatic changes. There are two methods of relationships between agriculture and climate change and has huge significance especially for developing and underdeveloped or low‐income countries, who are largely dependent on agriculture for subsistence and their lack of infrastructure for adaptation as compared with developed countries. Geographically high‐latitude areas with already existence of low temperature, by virtue of increasing temperature due to climate changes, could allow for the longer growing season. Agricultural fields are affected by the emission of GHG such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Gasses have an effect on climate through the discharge of greenhouse gasses. Emissions mostly come from the tillage practices, fossil fuels, fertilized agricultural soils, and farm animal's manure in a huge amount and affected the agriculture sector. On the contrary, agriculture could be a solution for climate change by reducing emission and implementation of mitigation and adaptation actions widely. It will happen with the assistance of best management practices such as agroforestry practice, organic farming, rainwater harvesting, irrigation planning, and manure management.

“…Scarcity of water increases aridity and drought problems in some areas, while excess water induces erosion, floods and landslides in others. Such changes and hazards hit hard on smallholder farmers who significantly depend on subsistence agriculture (Zhai & Zhuang, 2009). The Fifth Assessment Report suggests that addressing impacts of climate change and climate risk management requires sound adaptation strategies as well as proper mitigation steps (IPCC, 2014a).…”

To identify the indicators of adaptive capacity that determine vulnerability of households, an intensive investigation was conducted in farming communities at two locations in the Asian highlands. Livelihood vulnerability was assessed, classified to four categories and regressed against current adaptive capacity using logistic regression. Household head's education, irrigated land, non-agricultural income, and technologies used were associated with adaptive capacity. The strengthening of human, natural and financial capital is identified as the best means of managing risk in farming communities in this mountainous region. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Indeed, environmental changes severely affect farming households leading them to live in pervasive poverty situations. The frequency of climate change related shocks and stresses have been increasing from time to time and vary from place to place based on the adaptive capacity and resource endowment of geographical areas (National Meteorology Agency/NMA 2007;Zhai 2009;Zhai and Zhuang 2009).…”

Background: Climate change is one of the greatest environmental threats facing our world in recent decades. As Ethiopia is dependent on rain-fed agriculture, it becomes one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Therefore, this study analyzed farmers' agricultural land vulnerability to climate change in four randomly selected kebeles of Dembia woreda (District). The 372 sample respondents were randomly selected. The primary quantitative and qualitative data were collected using household survey, field observation, and interview methods. Accordingly, the study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze the data. The rainfall and temperature trends were analyzed using simple linear regression and standardized precipitation index (SPI). Livelihood vulnerability index was used to analyze the levels of rural households' agricultural land vulnerability to climate change supported with percentages, averages, maximum and minimum values. Results:The results revealed increasing temperature, decreasing rainfall and abnormal precipitation distribution over past 32 years. Likewise, the livelihood vulnerability indices (LVIs) calculated for agricultural land and climatic exposure indicators revealed that households are increasingly vulnerable to climate change risks. Conclusion:For building more climate-resilient community the government in collaboration with stakeholders should enhance apt land management mechanisms and provide training, education, and required agricultural land inputs to the community.
