Abstract (in English)
Rice production has been affected negatively by the factors of climate change such as soil salinity, drought, high and low temperatures, changes in precipitation, and diseases. For instance, an increase of 1.5 ºC in temperature has decreased rice yield by 5.39%, 12.44%, and 3.87% respectively in China, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. On the other hand, it is estimated that the world population will reach 9.7 billion in 2050, thus the demand for rice will continue to increase in the future. While rice plays an important role in the world and Afghanistan's food security, as well as the impacts of climate change on rice growth and yield were not well described in the previous literature, thus it was needed to investigate the above-mentioned issue in this review. The application of climate-smart adaptative and mitigative practices increased rice yield and income by 15.89% and 19.28% respectively.
