Agriculture is open to environment and depends heavily on it.
Effect on crops: Maize crop in southern Africa may decrease by 30% of its main crop by 2030, in South Asia rice, millet and maize may decrease by 10%.
Effects in different climatic zones: In tropical and sub-tropical regions, crop yield may decrease due to low water availability, and changed insect pest incidence. For example, average crop yield is expected to drop by 50% in Pakistan due to water scarcity. In temperate Europe, maize production in Europe is expected to grow up to 25%. In polar zone, more land availability for agriculture.
Behaviour of organisms: Organisms may become more or less competitive, and Breeders have to develop more competitive organisms, such as drought resistant, flood resistant or salt resistant varieties of crops etc.
Effect on marine life: Marine life may be affected due to water contamination.
