An Inductive Study of the Iraqi Agricultural Reality and the Availability of Fodder with Climate Changes

Abstract

This study investigated the implications of climate change on Iraqi agricultural sector and the feed availability, aiming to extrapolate these effects on essential livestock resources and crop production to suggest an adaptation strategies or interventions being considered to mitigate the effects of climate changes. All data were collected up to 31/ December/ 2023 from ministry of agriculture in Iraq. The results indicated political and economic stability, proper water management, support for agricultural development and farmer education create a strong agricultural environment capable of facing climate change. In addition, most tips to reduce climate change aren’t effective especially in the developing countries, so, we have to begin with the simplest way, by urban greening and increasing trees in and around cities, that leads to absorbing and decreasing carbon dioxide. Using drought-resistant varieties. Using efficient irrigation techniques.
