| Abstract: | Uttar Pradesh (UP), the most populous state in India, serves as a critical breadbasket for the nation, contributing significantly to the production of wheat, rice, and sugarcane. However, the region is increasingly vulnerable to climatic volatility. This paper examines the correlation between changing climatic variables specifically temperature rise and precipitation variability and agricultural productivity in UP. Utilizing time-series data from 2010 to 2023 and forecasting models extending to 2025, the study analyses yield trends for major staple crops. Results indicate a significant negative correlation between terminal heat stress and wheat yields, particularly in Western UP, while rice production in Eastern UP faces volatility due to erratic monsoon patterns. The paper concludes by proposing adaptive strategies to ensure long-term food security. |
