Agriculture and climate change are inextricable. Crop yield, biodiversity, water use, and soil health are directly affected by the impact of climate change. Tropical countries are likely to be more affected compared to temperate countries. The brunt of environmental changes in India is very high due to higher dependence on agriculture. Such a study would contribute towards a better understanding of the intensity and impacts of the climate change. The research study was conducted in Jagatsinghpur district of Odisha taking 120 respondents from Tirtol and Raghunathpur block. From the study it was observed that 53.33% of respondents solely depend on agriculture. The study revealed that 58.33%, 55.83%, 54.16%, 54.16%, 53.33 % of the respondents observed negative impact on sowing time, spacing, grain yield quantity, straw yield and land preparation respectively. 44.16%, 40.83%, 40.83%, 39.16% felt increasing of number of irrigation, Disease infestation, pesticide use, and insect, pest infestation respectively. 49.16 % observed no effect on disease infestation, number of irrigation and pesticide use.
