    Abstract

    In drylands, the agriculture sector’s capacity to respond to climatic hazards is minimal. Crop modeling and determining the economic consequences of the impact of climate change are noticeably insufficient. To create respectable livelihoods in rural regions based on agriculture and sustainable dryland systems, the youth require education in this field. Improving yield and climate monitoring are key challenges for the successful adaptation of agriculture in drylands. To improve the ability to predict how environmental change will affect the agricultural sector in drylands, researchers need adequate research tools, accurate data, and models. The concept of integrated assessment modeling (IAM) is used to group several modeling techniques for evaluating the effects of climate change. Multidisciplinary assessment involves the development of methodologies for integrating knowledge across disciplines, especially between socio-economic and biophysical systems, to look into and comprehend their causal links. An interdisciplinary approach should integrate different models.
