Abstract

Climate change, a major local and global concern, poses a huge danger to sustainable development as a result of "global warming." The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of climate change on rice and sugar beet crop production in Fayoum Governorate. The study indicated that: Rice production was directly affected by the minimum temperature by 49 kg/Feddan with a one-degree Celsius increase within permissible limits, and inversely affected by the maximum temperature by 113 kg/Feddan with a one-degree Celsius increase. Sugar beet output was directly impacted by maximum temperature by 138 kg/Feddan with a one-degree Celsius rise within acceptable limits, whereas rainfall had an inverse effect by 109 kg/Feddan with a one-unit increase in rainfall rate. By estimating the economic losses resulting from the impact of climate change on rice and sugar beet production, it was discovered that the productivity of a Feddan of rice and sugar beet crops decreased in 2023 compared to 2022, by an estimated amount of about 0.470 and 1.570 tons/Feddan, respectively. This drop reduced farm revenue by around 5532.03 and 1956.55 pounds per Feddan, respectively.
