In this 21st century the problem related to climatic change had been of main concern. As mentioned in the previous article of Climate change and its impact on the human life, it had been made clear to us about the different reasons for climatic change, and its different impact on the human civilization.
The impact of this climatic change is seen in different sectors especially in farms. Farmers are too much affected by the climatic changes because of the untimely rainfall. Due to the untimely rainfall and unpredictable nature of climate it has become harder for farmer to plough any particular kind of crops which can be only be grown at a certain climatic condition. Like some crops like rice needs rainy season but it has become difficult to predict the exact time for the rainfall.
The effect of the climatic change is more seen in those countries which are agriculture based and posses very less access towards the technology. All the developed countries maintain some sort of way for plugging and irrigating their farms for crop and vegetable production but for those underdeveloped countries it is very difficult to irrigate. So, those farmers from those countries should mainly depend upon the rain water. But due to the change in the climate it has become very difficult for those farmers to grow any type of crops.
A survey done by myself during 2009-02 in the area of hilly side of Pokhera (Lwang, Sikhelekh, one of the tourism site of Nepal), I found that people whose main occupation was land farming and cattle farming have changed their occupation from farming to foreign workers. It is mainly due to the change in the climatic change and untimely rainfall; it had become very difficult for them to do the irrigation of crops. Not only this but due to global warming the snow caps are getting melted more faster then ever predicted so due to which the natural water stream has also been drastically disturbed(All the sources are slowly getting dried up).
