Abstract

The threat of climate change has initiated serious concern among scientists as it can badly affect
the production of crop because of change in climatic variables that could compromise food
security both locally and globally. In this era, sustainable food production is major challenge
to agriculture system because of climate change. It is one of the major sectors which helps to
maintain the livelihood of maximum population globally and play its part to climate change.
Hence for the sustainable food production, we need a Climate smart approach. In changing
climate, the native agriculture approach is getting attention all over the world to produce viable
food. Many of the scientists have also proposed that traditional management system and the
agro ecologically based management strategies both may represent the only viable way to
increase the sustainability and productivity of agricultural production under these predicted
climatic conditions. This article represents climate smart approach for traditional agriculture to
produce food. It also represents correlation among agriculture and climate change.
