Abstract: The ongoing climate talks at COP 26 recognized the interlinkages between agriculture and \nclimate change. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate change. The climate change \nand higher temperatures eventually reduce yields of some crops while encouraging weed and \npest proliferation(Reddy et al., 2021). The high frequency of droughts rises the likelihood \nof crop failures and loss of incomes from livestock. If timely action is not taken, the natural \nresource degradation further reduces crop yields in India, which are already low compared \nto global averages. For instance, the productivity of rice in India is just 40% of the global \naverage.
