Abstract: Global weather patterns have been altered by the complex and diverse process of climate change for several decades or longer. A number of changes, including as increasing temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, are its defining characteristics. Crop output is greatly impacted by climate change, and the effects can be either beneficial or negative based on a number of variables, including the crop type, agroecological location, and season. For example, greater temperatures and more rainfall in some areas may result in better crop yields. On the other hand, altered weather patterns in other areas can lead to crop failures, lower yields, and heightened susceptibility to pests and illness. Due to climate change, horticulture crop growth is anticipated to be significantly impacted. The available statistics and information point to increased water demand, biotic and abiotic stressors, and changed rainfall patterns as factors that would affect these crops' productivity. While increased CO2 can hasten photosynthesis and increased temperature can hasten ripening, it is important to take steps to lessen the negative consequences of climate change on sustainable production. Overall, to maintain sustainable horticulture crop production, action must be taken to positively adapt to the changes brought about by climate change.
