Abstract

Climate and agriculture highly interrelated. Agriculture is highly dependent
on the climatic factors. The climatic factors as well as other factors that are
determined by climate cause vulnerability of agriculture and agricultural
production.. Using a survey method this study aims to determine the impacts
of climatic change on agricultural vulnerability in the Integrated Agricultural
Development Area (IADA), West Selangor, Malaysia. Results suggest that
over the last 5 years vulnerability of the factors like, injurious insects, high
temperature, soil fertility loss, and cost of input materials increased greatly
due to climatic changes; and the vulnerability of the factors like shortage of
rainfall, excessive rainfall, and labor scarcity increased moderately during
this period. It is projected that due to climate change agricultural production
sustainability will become vulnerable in Malaysia by 2020.
