Abstract

Climate change is known as changing in weather and atmospheric air which remains for centuries and these changes could be happened naturally or due to human actions. These climatic changes might have negative effects on Agricultural production. In this review I will discuss about the negative effects of climate change on agriculture in Europe. These climatic changing negative factors include heavy rainfalls, drought and temperature instabilities, salinity, soil sterility, and insect pest outbreaks which leads to endangerment of natural life cycle, and have negative impacts on agricultural yield. In European countries temperature and rainfall are the major fluctuating factors which have negative impacts on agriculture food crops and becomes a threat for food security in future. The major food crops in Europe which can be effected by variability in climate includes wheat, rice, sorghum, maize and barley.

Keywords
