Abstract

Climate change has been recognized globally and it has a number of straight and long-term impacts. In this paper, the main purpose was to assess the perception of local people towards climate change and its impact on food production. The statistical populace for this study consists of 400 persons selected at random from Jammu region of J&K state to acquire local perception at small scale. A well-designed validated questionnaire was utilized to collect the data from the respondents who were willing to participate in our study. The data collected was analyzed and tabulated using standard statistical tools. The results from our research revealed that majority of the respondents under study were of the opinion that rise in temperature, irregular rainfall, frequent disaster and decrease in food production has direct impact of food security. Respondents in majority were aware of the climate change and its impacts on food production but they were not aware how to adopt climate changes. It is obvious that there is a significant relation between climate change and food production. It is concluded from our study that in order to cope with climate change impact socio-economic profile and people awareness concerning food production have to be modified.
