Agriculture is a fundamental human activity, providing human societies with food, clothing, medicine and other useful products as well as a number of vital ecosystem services including biodiversity, soil formation, water regulation, carbon sequestration and more. Since our world population is expected to reach 9.1 billion people by 2050, agricultural production needs to grow accordingly to meet this growing demand; climate change presents a challenge to this, since it has and will continue to seriously affect agriculture. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) estimates that climate change could reduce irrigated wheat and rice yields by 30 and 15 percent, respectively (Nelson et al., 2009). The agriculture, forestry and the fisheries sectors are essential to the livelihoods of around 75 percent of the people living in rural areas. Thus, the threat presented by climate change is very significant for the livelihoods of a large share of the worlds’ population.
