Exploring the relationship of climate change and crop production

Abstract

The current study explores the relationship that agriculture and climate have, with a focus on the extreme events that are a result of climate change. The overall research is conducted with regard to the effects of climate on crop production globally, then narrowing it to the case of Kosovo. The analysis is done on SPSS, and tests for correlation between yearly climatic events and yearly production values in tons, show that there are significant relationships between the variables. However, the two sets of data available show that the model can accurately identify the direction that these variables have on production, but cannot identify the magnitude.
