Abstract
Global warming and variations in rainfall are altering the soil potency of two nutrients that are paramount to agriculture. A set of time series of nutrition availability, crop yield, and climate factors between the years 2015 and 2023 was directly correlated using time series data in this study. Purpose: The main goal of the research is to understand how climate variables, including increases in temperature and variation in rainfall, impact the availability of micronutrients in soil and how these climate variables impact the yields of wheat and rice in Bangladesh. Methods: The paper has analyzed temperature variations, precipitation anomaly, loss of organic carbon in soil, and the level of micronutrients over time. Correlation and regression analyses were run to determine relationships between climatic factors and yields. Trends in micronutrient deficiency in crops were evaluated based on national agricultural research data. Results: Decreases in the availability of soil organic carbon, Zn, and Fe were observed over time at the rates of 1.5-3.0%, 2.3-1.5 mg/kg, and 4.7-3.6 mg/kg, respectively. These losses were accompanied by decreased rice (4.2-3.3 MT/ha) and wheat (3.3-2.4 MT/ha) yields. Dietary conditions depicted a low score in dietary patterns with predominant vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns and low levels of animal product consumption 4. Conclusion: Climate change influences the availability of micronutrients in soil and crop production extensively, and this can have a significant impact in Bangladesh. Sustainable and eco-friendly products like organic inputs, micronutrient-addition fertilizers, and climate change adaptation crop varieties are needed to provide sustainable food security.
