| dc.description.abstract | The danger of global warming we face today is caused by the increasing amount of the gases which cause greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. Particularly, industrial revolution increases the human-sourced greenhouse gas levels. In this sense, all sectors like agriculture, food production, industry, tourism, health are affected by this important phenomenon on the agenda. Although global climate change is directly caused by greenhouse gas in agriculture sector, paradoxically it is the most affected sector by this change, that is because agriculture depends on climate conditions and it causes economic, environmental and social fluctuation. Melting of glaciers, rising of the water level in the oceans, vapourisation in the fresh water resource as the heat goes up, they all harm natural balance and threaten numerous plant and animal kinds. These changes have led countries to take precautions in this matter. Being effective since the 1970's, international efforts have been put forward in order to limit the greenhouse gas release to the atmosphere and to promote usage of clean-energy types. Agriculture is quite rich by means of renewable energy resources, which are expected as a solution to global warming. However, we have to form the infrastructure in order to run these resources effectively. In this study, the effects of agriculture on global climate change, the effects of global climate change on agriculture, and the effect of agriculture on the reduction of global climate change were considered. Furthermore, global climate change defines the importance of agricultural extension as a solution to the encountered problems in agriculture. | en_US |
