Climate is changing, and further changes are inevitable. It has been noted by IPCC that the globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature, as calculated by a linear trend show a warming of 0.85 [0.65–1.06] _C over the period 1880–2012. The mean temperature in India is projected to increase up to 1.7 _C in kharif (July–October) and up to 3.2 _C during rabi (November–March) season, while the mean rainfall is expected to increase by 10% by 2070, leading to frequent weather extremities. There is a growing evidence that climate change would impact agriculture and food security. The extreme weather events such as drought, floods as a result of climate change impact agricultural production and threatens food and livelihood security. However, systematic and comprehensive studies on assessing impact as well as potential impacts of adaptation and mitigation strategies in minimizing effect of climate change are scarce. Coupled with it, the comprehensive literature introducing different existing methodologies are also difficult to find. The chapter draws from the existing empirical literature to summarize different methodologies used to estimate the impact of climate change. The chapter also discusses the agricultural policies on adaption and mitigation strategies to minimize the adverse impacts of climate change on livelihood and food security.
