Impak perubahan iklim ke atas pertanian berdasarkan Model Simulasi Pertumbuhan Tanaman (CGS)

Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the earliest economic sectors that has received extensive focus from the climate change impact studies. This is fueled by the vulnerability of this sector to climatic variations, as well as its utmost connection with human survival. Discussion on the magnitude of the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector is still debatable until now as there are various methods and models that have been applied to assess the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector worldwide. The crop growth simulation (CGS) model is one of the models commonly used by researchers. Hence, this paper aims to review the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector based on the findings from the literature that used CGS as its simulation model. In general, this review reveals that the climate sensitivity of crops varies between countries. The impact of climate change is expected to affect agricultural production in both developing and low-income countries, especially countries located in low latitude or with a tropical climate. Given the heterogeneous effects of climatic variation on the agricultural sector, thus it is vital for future studies that intend to study the relation between agriculture and climate to focus on the aspects of climatic geography.
