Abstract

Globalization not only influences international relations and socio-economic development butalso significantly impacts natural and geographical processes. Of particular concern is itsassociation with global climate change, which manifests prominently in the agricultural sector.Studies indicate that global climate change primarily manifests through global warming,exacerbating issues such as deforestation, water resource conflicts, and other adverse effects,ultimately impeding agricultural development. The detrimental effects of global climatechange on agriculture primarily manifest through soil degradation and adverse impacts oncrop cultivation due to increased temperatures. It is crucial to recognize that climate changeposes challenges not only to individual countries but also to global agricultural developmentas a whole. Global warming, by reducing rainfall and increasing periods of drought,negatively affects agricultural productivity, leading to decreased crop yields. Addressing thesechallenges requires substantial investments aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of globalclimate change on agriculture. Additionally, the development and implementation ofinnovative technologies for crop cultivation and the formulation of new product strategies areessential steps towards neutralizing the impacts of climate change on agriculturaldevelopment. This abstract highlights the importance of mitigating the adverse effects ofglobal climate change on agricultural development and emphasizes the need for strategicinvestments and innovative approaches to ensure sustainable agricultural practices.
