Climate Change, Agriculture, StakeholdersAbstract
This study has been carried out to investigate the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and its awareness among various stakeholders. This study aims to determine adverse effects and how the agriculture department of Naushahro Feroze District contributes to creating awareness among the stakeholders about the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture. This study uses a purposeful sample of 4 to 5 High-Rank officers and specialists of the Agriculture department were selected to collect the data. The qualitative Method was adopted using Interviews via Semi-structured open-ended questionnaires. The results show that bodies, Organizations, and Institutions working to mitigate losses are not properly aware of the recommendations by International Bodies. Moreover, there is no proper system for creating awareness.
