Now a days climate change is a emerging issue to overcome this what should we have to do to for betterment of future generations.
Global warming is placing unprecedented pressure on food producers, particularly smallholders reliant on traditional crops under threat from changing environmental conditions. Researchers are developing new climate- resilient crop varieties – but are these a realistic solution for smallholders?

Yes we can develop and we have to develop as adaptation to climate change. Please read following article. Article Impact of climate change on agricultural production in India...

Dear Prashant Balasaheb Pawar, one of the starting point for initiating a research idea or activity is challenge/problem of production and productivity. As you know, climate change is one of the pertinent challenge/problem of the globe that have an impact on production and productivity of crops. So, for addressing the problem, we do have no option except for developing varieties that can adapt and or outperform with the changing climates. For this, scientists are applying their efforts for developing improved varieties using conventional to modern breeding tools and positive results are also observed.
There is no choice ,yes we must try to develop new varieties that suitable for what happened in our environment .Scientist from numerous countries working on this case to develop new varieties or through cultivation wild types of crops .
The magnitude and direction of climate change on yields depends on crop types and locations under some circumstances. Our simulations studies show that dry areas will benefit from climate change and climate change is likely to have positive impacts on C4 crops (e.g. sugarcane) due to CO2 fertilization. However, for most cereal crops like wheat, climate change will likely have negative effects on yields mainly due to the shortage of growth stages as a result of global warming. On the other hand, flowering time earlier (moving forward to a cooler period) caused by increased temperature would make it possible to avoid drought stress in the reproductive stage. Crop modelling simulation studies suggest it is more urgent to develop heat-tolerance cultivars than to develop drought-resistant cultivars to mitigate future climate change.
This is surely possible , but need interfacing with other disciplines , with agronomists and plant physiologists taking up pivotal role...
