Agriculture and Climate
Agriculture stands as a pivotal sector in the global economy, deeply intertwined with weather and climate patterns. Its reliance on natural resources like land and water makes it susceptible to the influence of climate. Variations in climate elements, including temperature, precipitation, and frost timing, have the potential to either extend growing seasons or facilitate the cultivation of different crops in specific regions. However, these changes may concurrently introduce challenges, complicating agricultural practices in certain areas.
Impacts of Climate Change in Agriculture
The repercussions of climate change, evident in altered drought and flood patterns, ose obstacles for farmers and ranchers and jeopardize food safety. In essence, climate change has the potential to disrupt established methods of crop cultivation in both timing and location.
It is essential to consider the impacts of climate change in conjunction with other dynamic factors affecting agricultural production, such as evolving farming practices and technological advancements.

How greenhouses enhance crop production
A greenhouse is constructed using a highly transparent material such as glass or plastic, allowing the entry of heat in the form of radiation while minimizing heat loss. The transparent material permits the absorption of heat by objects and materials within, subsequently releasing it throughout the interior space via convection.
The crucial feature of a greenhouse lies in its capacity for controlled environmental regulation, particularly advantageous for plant cultivation in climates traditionally unsuitable for farming.
