Influence of Climate Change on Food Crop Yield in Benin Republic

摘要: World climate is projected to be more harmful and unforeseeable. A threefold combination of temperature, precipitation potential evapotranspiration leads change with a negative effect on staple food crop production. To understand the sensitivity yield future in climate, this paper uses feasible generalized least square (FGLS) heteroskedasticity autocorrelation (HAC) consistent standard error techniques function quantify effects variables mean variance yields. Data from FAOSTAT website national institutions such as areas cultivated for period 1961-2015 Benin country are used. Climate computed according each growing season. The results showed that could significantly influence yields affect variability. contribution varies across they were predicted decrease about 2025. In order ensure availability context change, support agricultural sector especially crops production should focused seeds improvement by generating, developing extending drought flood-tolerant varieties. also implicate promoting irrigated agriculture.
