ABSTRACT

Climate change and fluctuation are having a negative impact on world events, including temperature patterns, irregular showers, windy storms, and prolonged dry periods with increasing frequency and severity. The effects of these climate change stimuli vary from lower production to complete crop failure, animal mortality, and an increase in agricultural pathogens, water-borne illnesses, and crop insect outbreaks. Climate change events are expected to increase temperature, rainfall, and sea level rise in Liberia, which is particularly vulnerable. Catastrophic floods, heavy, erratic rain, and wind storms are becoming more common and intense in more parts of the country. People living in rural regions, particularly those who are already susceptible to climate change due to marginalization and neglect, are expected to bear the brunt of the effects of climate change. Rainfall and temperature totals in Liberia are referred to as "weather characteristics" on both a short and long-time frame. The two most significant seasons in Liberia are the rainy and dry seasons. The climate of Liberia is tropical, with minimal variation between day and night and season. Water resources in Liberia and how they are utilized are critical to the problem of enhancing food security across the country. Liberia has an abundance of water resources, but efficient management and planning of these resources is critical to attaining national objectives and goals in decreasing conflicts between competing users. This difficulty is exacerbated by a variety of administrative, technological, and political issues, including the dismal status of the Liberian economy after 14 years of civil conflict. For 89 percent of the Liberian population, agriculture is the primary source of income. The industry is critical to Liberia's economic and social growth since it contributes considerably to job creation, food security, and family income. Despite the significance of agriculture, poverty is continuously greater among farming families in Liberia than in non-farming households. Future agricultural output in Liberia will have to expand faster than population growth in order for nutrition to improve and food insecurity and undernourishment to decrease, particularly in rural Liberia. This will have to take place mostly on current agricultural land. Improvements will therefore have to come from sustainable intensification that makes good use of land and water resources while without harming them. An integrated and sustainable strategy to the use and management of the natural wealth is required.
