Abstract

Global warming's impacts on agriculture are well-documented, yet the multiple challenges farmers face, particularly regarding water resources, remain poorly understood. Despite substantial scientific research, regions like Afghanistan, where the level of undernourishment remains very high, still require in-depth investigations into the interactions between climate trends and agriculture. Similar to many arid agricultural regions globally, Afghanistan's agricultural systems have already suffered from depleted groundwater levels due to overuse and increasing drought frequencies due to shifting climate patterns. Therefore, interdisciplinary research on climate trends and adaptive strategies using available datasets is urgently needed in Afghanistan, where food security is one of the most critical challenges to address in the short term.
