Abstract Climate alteration poses a consistent threat to food security and agriculture production system. Agriculture sector encounters severe challenges in achieving the sustainable development goals due direct indirect effects inflicted by ongoing climate change. Although many industries are confronting challenge of change, impact on agricultural industry is huge. Irrational weather changes have raised imminent public concerns, as adequate output supplies under continuous threat. Food system negatively threatened changing climatic patterns thereby increasing risk poverty. It has led concerning state affairs regarding global eating patterns, particularly countries where plays significant role their economies productivity levels. The focus this review deteriorating consequences with prime emphasis how altering affect either directly or indirectly. shifts resultant temperature ranges put survival validity species at risk, which exaggerated biodiversity loss progressively fluctuating ecological structures. influence variation results poor quality higher costs well insufficient systems distribution. concluding segment underscores policy implementation aimed mitigating both regional scale. data study been gathered from various research organizations, newspapers, papers, other sources aid readers understanding issue. execution also analyzed depicted that government engrossment indispensable for long-term progress nation, because it will guarantee stringent accountability tools regulations previously implemented create state-of-the-art policy.

In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), particularly in South Asia sub-Saharan Africa, livestock production is dominated by smallholder systems characterized low productivity high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity coupled with vulnerability to climate change-related natural disasters. Yet, these lead the world future demand for products. For instance, projected growth protein red meat between 2020 2050 greatest south (49%) Africa (55%) relative global estimates (14%). Most LMIC aim meet increasing milk numbers, which perpetuates GHG countries. Rather, emphasis should be on per animal through increased adoption of climate-smart interventions that sustainably increase productivity, efficiency resilience. Such must go beyond current focus reducing enteric methane from intensive include also improve adaptation change, are appropriate extensive systems. Thus, additional factors such as affordability socio-cultural appropriateness important determinants adoption.
