Climate is one of the most important input factors in the agriculture productivity in all over the world. Throughout the world there is significant concern about the effects of climate change and its variability on agricultural production. Climate change is being recognized as a major threat to present day society because of its adverse impacts on ecosystem, agricultural productivity, water resources, socio-economy and sustainability in a global as well as regional basis. Assessment of impacts of these changes on the diverse sectors of activity at a lowest possible spatial scale requires to be made to facilitate community level actions for our sustainable growth. Climate is generally defined as average weather, as such, climate change and weather are intertwined. Observations can show that there have been changes in weather, and it is the statistics of changes in weather over time that identify climate change. Agriculture is most vulnerable to climate change. As Rice and Wheat are staple food for the people, climate effect will be strong. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the climate impact on the said crops time to time and explore sustainable approaches to enhance the productivity. This paper studies the Wheat and Rice production sustainability measures of Dayalbagh in the light of climate variations.
