Climate is a critical factor that determines the habitability of a place. Determining the climate of an area in a need to recognise and to consider the climate parameters such as minimum and maximum of temperature, precipitation humidity etc. Thus, climate change is a dynamic phenomenon and is most evidently visible in the phenomenon of Global warming. Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface. The temperature at or near the surface of the earth is detemined by the amount of sunlight the earth receives and reflects, retention of heat by the atmosphere and evaporation and condensation of water vapour.
Recently agro-climatic Sustainability assessment is gaining weightage as an important basis for Sustainable agricultural development planning. Malwa resigon is a potential region which has great opportunity of agricultural development through systematic appraisal of its natural resources.
The present study is essentially a resource based planning interms of techno-agro-climatic condition with emphasis on maximization of productive efficiency of available resources by the use of appropriate technology. At last the agro-climate regional planning presented for the sustainable development of the Agriculture in the Punjab state.
