The effects of climate change are more acutely felt by the poor, whose livelihoods are highly dependent on the natural world. Due to three primary factors, Ethiopia is severely impacted by climate change: I roughly 80% of the population relies heavily on rain-fed agriculture; (ii) it is a low-income country; and (iii) it is spread over a variety of geographical regions with varying degrees of climatic influence. El Ninos brought on by climate change raise average temperatures and alter rainfall patterns across time and place, causing recurring droughts that worsen food insecurity, especially in the country's arid and semi-arid regions. Due to the increasingly unpredictable and variable character of weather patterns, food security and rural livelihoods are becoming more and more threatened by climate change and its unpredictability. The amount and quality of agricultural crop output are directly influenced by climate fluctuation, and this effect is often negative. Predictability of the climate is essential for planning agricultural operations since the climate of a region is strongly associated with the crops that are grown there.

The term "global warming" describes the observed rise in temperatures over the past 50 years as a result of an increase in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. Concerns about how the changing climate would affect agriculture have grown recently. Extreme weather events and climatic circumstances have a significant influence on agriculture since it is so reliant on natural resources like soil, water, and climate. Through direct effects on the biophysical growth of crops, climate change has an impact on crop productivity. Heat and water stressors are regarded as the most significant of the several environmental changes brought on by climate change that restricts crop production. Agriculture and food production are impacted by climate change in a variety of ways. Food production is directly impacted by changes in agro-ecological conditions (such as variations in rainfall leading to drought or flooding, or warmer or cooler temperatures leading to variations in the length of the growing season), and indirectly by changes in growth and income distribution, which in turn affects demand for agricultural products.
