Climate change is a series of changes that occur as a result of average values of climate parameters such as precipitation, temperature, humidity varying from the average. Changing climate conditions will change the structure of ecosystems, some living species will disappear. With the climate change, the seasonal distribution and amount of precipitation has begun to change. The rate of melting of polar glaciers is increasing. The rise of sea level has started to threaten some coastal settlements and increases the risk of salinization of underground waters day by day. Agriculture supplies inputs to many industries, such as food, industry, energy and tourism. As a result of climate change, agricultural activities in tropical and sub-tropical regions are adversely affected by unusual floods and droughts, while agricultural production in temperate climates is expected to be more prolonged. It is suggested that the effect of climate change will cause differentiation of plant species in some regions and that some plant species will expand to the north. Positive or negative impacts of agricultural production due to climate change will also affect other sectors and cause employment and incomes to change in all these sectors. The increase in living standards of developing countries will cause them to consume more than all sectors of the economy. This will increase the demand for agricultural products, despite the reduced yields due to climate change. Genetic resources provide material for breeding studies to ensure food security for the rapidly increasing world population. Research and development efforts to develop low-water consumption varieties that are highly efficient and of good quality, resistant to diseases caused by the effects of climate change, should always be supported.
