3. What are the main effects of climate change on agriculture?
The main effects of climate change on agriculture include reduced crop yields, shifts in growing regions, increased pests and diseases, and water scarcity.
Decreased need for irrigation and water management
Increased crop yields due to warmer temperatures
More stable weather patterns leading to consistent harvests
4. True or False: Technology has no role in improving agricultural productivity.
Technology only harms agriculture
False
True
Agriculture is unaffected by modern tools
5. How can technology help in sustainable farming practices?
Technology relies solely on chemical fertilizers.
Technology eliminates the need for crop rotation.
Technology increases water usage without benefits.
Technology helps in sustainable farming by optimizing resource use, improving crop monitoring, and increasing efficiency.
6. What is the purpose of national food policy?
To increase food prices for farmers.
To eliminate all agricultural subsidies.
To promote fast food consumption.
To ensure food security and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

True
Education has a negative impact on food awareness
False
8. How does public awareness contribute to food security?
Public awareness leads to increased food prices.
Public awareness decreases community involvement in agriculture.
Public awareness has no impact on food production.
Public awareness contributes to food security by promoting understanding, sustainable practices, and community engagement.
9. What are some challenges faced in achieving food security?

Food security is not a global concern.
False
11. How can climate change mitigation strategies improve food security?
By increasing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture.
By reducing the availability of water resources for farming.
By promoting monoculture practices that deplete soil nutrients.
Climate change mitigation strategies improve food security by enhancing agricultural resilience and stability.

14. How can education systems incorporate food security topics?
Focus solely on agricultural techniques without addressing food security
Eliminate food security topics from all educational programs
Integrate food security topics into the curriculum and promote hands-on learning.
Teach food security only in higher education institutions
15. What are the long-term benefits of investing in agricultural technology?
