The Impact of Climate Change on the Agricultural Sector

This study deals with the analysis of the future impact of climate change on the agriculture sector. In order to analyze data for this paper, many diverse methods were used. Using tools such as Numbers, complex and carefully created statistical models and data sets were created for the express purpose of analyzing climate change's effects on the agriculture sector. Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors in the world and is constantly growing. However there is a new threat on the horizon for agriculture: climate change. Climate change has the potential to wreak havoc on the agriculture sector if not stopped soon. Climate change seems like a relatively new phenomenon. However, climate change has actually been gradually taking place since the industrial revolution, becoming more powerful everyday, and now threatens humanity. Climate change is no longer a thing of the future. If action is not taken against climate change, it is clear that the Earth, and everything living on the Earth, will suffer greatly. Three plans on how to deal with climate change are examined by this study. The first is one where humanity makes no changes to its current ways, the second is the Paris Climate Accords and the third is a plan where temperature increase is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The effects that each plan will have on climate change and the agriculture sector is examined. The conclusion of this study is that the world needs to change its ways in order to avoid climate change and save the agricultural sector.
