| Abstract | ||||
| Climate change is a difficult fact to deny; because agriculture is a biological industry that is particularly sensitive to any climatic changes, as crops are geographically, thermally and humid, which is expected to have a negative effect on production and therefore a greater difficulty in self-sufficiency and food gap than crops, Which are particularly sensitive to climate change such as tomato crop and food gap crops such as bean crop. The economic impacts of climate change on study crops and future status should be determined. The study found that there is a negative effect of the average temperature on the productivity of the bean yield, while the positive effect of rainfall on the productivity of the bean crop. There was also a negative effect of rainfall and moisture on the productivity of winter tomatoes, but the effect of the average temperature on winter tomato production was positive. The effect of the average temperature and humidity on tomato production was found to be negative. The scenarios also show that the productivity deficit can be compensated by increasing the area planted with the crops. | ||||
