Abstract
The climate change has both positive as well as negative effect on agriculture. Therefore, to minimize losses due to climate change, researches should be done in this area to ensure food security to the increasing populations. The surface water, underground water, drinking water and rain water are affected adversely due to anthropogenically accelerated climate change. Therefore, there is need ensuring of quality of water, land, air and environment for plants and animal security and livelihood. Agriculture supports 70 percent of the population in India for livelihood Security. But due to neglect it is unable to harness its true potential. India has all the ingredients for an agro-industrial revolution –man, money and material but due to the absence of entrepreneurship, there is hardly any value added activity at the farm level and 98 percent of our farm produce is sold in the raw form. It is therefore there is need of a large scale training and entrepreneurship development programmes be launched annually in the farm sector.
