Rising temperatures, variation in rainfall patterns and frequent extreme weather events associated with climate change have adversely affected agro-ecological food systems and pastoral systems in some drylands , especially in developing countries  where desertification is a key challenge to agricultural livelihoods. Recurrent droughts in recent decades, coupled with wind erosion , affected vast areas in Argentina, leading to land abandonment and agricultural fields being covered by sand and invasive plants . Temperature increases have contributed to reduced wheat yields in arid, semiarid and dry sub-humid zones of Pakistan . Agricultural production in the drylands of South Punjab is experiencing irreversible impacts since the grain formation phase has become swifter with a warmer climate, leading to improper growth and reduced yields .
