CLIMATE CHANGE
                                                      Predictions for Asian Region (IPCC, 2007)
 Temp. increase by 2050 : 2.5-3.00C, Rise in winter (night) temperature
                                          Good for winter maize, but more biotic pressure
 Significant change in pattern of annual precipitation
                                          Frequency of temporary flooding/water-logging and drought likely to increases

 Summers may become more drier & hotter
                                          Drought and heat stress are likely to increases
Departure in Temp. (0C) from 1990 value
Climate-change vulnerability map
Criteria:
• Exposure (highly exposed if the temperature increases by at least 2oC or if variation
  in annual precipitation levels at least 20%)

• Sensitivity (represented by
  share of labor employed in
  agriculture (FAO 2004); countries
  with agricultural employment
  above 40% are considered to be
  highly sensitive)

• Adaptive capacity
  (represented by poverty level. A
  poverty level of more than 30% is
  considered to be low adaptive
  capacity)



         (ADB, 2009)
Effect on Crop production
• If current trends persist until
  2050, the yields of major crops in
  South Asia will decrease
  significantly :
     Maize (-17%),
     Wheat (-12%) and
     Rice (-10%)

   due to of climate change-induced
heat and water stress.

• Resulting food scarcity will lead
  to higher prices and reduced
  caloric intake across the region.

Some facts about Asian Tropics
 Over 80% maize is grown as rain-
  fed crop, with avg. yield
  <1/2 of irrigated maize
 Further increase in rain-fed maize
  area
  @1.8% per year (~ six time faster
  than irrigated area) (Edmeades,
  2007)
 Declining ground water table
  Irrigation capacity under threat
 Climate change effects

Effects of heat stress on maize yield




  Each degree day spent above 30 C reduced the final yield by 1% under optimal
  rain-fed conditions, and by 1.7% under drought conditions.

CONCLUSIONS…….
• Climate change effects are biggest
  challenge for Asian food grain
  productivity.

• Stress-resilient germplasm, tolerant to
  key stresses is one of the key for
  addressing climate change effects


• Integration of stress-tolerant
  germplasm & resource efficient
  technologies, the way forward

  • 5. CLIMATE CHANGE Predictions for Asian Region (IPCC, 2007)  Temp. increase by 2050 : 2.5-3.00C, Rise in winter (night) temperature Good for winter maize, but more biotic pressure  Significant change in pattern of annual precipitation Frequency of temporary flooding/water-logging and drought likely to increases  Summers may become more drier & hotter Drought and heat stress are likely to increases Departure in Temp. (0C) from 1990 value
  • 6. Climate-change vulnerability map Criteria: • Exposure (highly exposed if the temperature increases by at least 2oC or if variation in annual precipitation levels at least 20%) • Sensitivity (represented by share of labor employed in agriculture (FAO 2004); countries with agricultural employment above 40% are considered to be highly sensitive) • Adaptive capacity (represented by poverty level. A poverty level of more than 30% is considered to be low adaptive capacity) (ADB, 2009)
  • 7. Effect on Crop production • If current trends persist until 2050, the yields of major crops in South Asia will decrease significantly :  Maize (-17%),  Wheat (-12%) and  Rice (-10%) due to of climate change-induced heat and water stress. • Resulting food scarcity will lead to higher prices and reduced caloric intake across the region. Building Climate Resilience in the Agriculture Sector of Asia and Pacific (IFPRI and ADB, 2009)
