To mitigate these impacts, potential adaptation strategies can be
implemented. Developing heat-resistant crop varieties is crucial to
ensuring the resilience of wheat production in the face of rising
temperatures. Additionally, implementing climate change adaptation
policies for farmers, such as promoting the use of improved cultivars
and increasing sowing density, can help mitigate the negative economic
climate of change on agricultural production. Other adaptation
strategies include early sowing and irrigation, which have shown
improvements in wheat biomass and yield, particularly in rainfed
regions. It is important to prioritize and implement these adaptation
strategies to ensure food security and livelihoods in Pakistan’s wheat
production sector. Implementing climate change policies that promote
sustainable agricultural practices and efficient water management is
also crucial. Additionally, improving irrigation systems and investing
in research and development for climate-smart agriculture can help
ensure food security in the face of a changing climate.
