This study investigates the economic and social impacts of climate change on agricultural production, focusing on various crops such as maize, rice, and soybean in Qalyubia Governorate. The statistical analysis technique will be performed under a descriptive-analytical methodology in order to focus on the influence that climatic factors have on crop productivity.The results depicted that from the findings, there is an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases and a rise in temperature, whereas relative humidity and rainfall were on a decline. These have caused marked changes in the cultivated areas, production, and productivity of the studied crops. It has also been observed that maize and rice showed significant declines in productivity and thus faced immense economic losses.The study also covers the degree of environment awareness on the part of farmers, revealing that farmers have a low to moderate degree of awareness regarding climate change. Another result points out that rice farmers express a significantly higher level of environmental awareness than maize and soybean farmers.Results from this study highlight the urgent need to increase environmental awareness and the adoption of sustainable agricultural methods in order to reduce the impacts of climate change on agricultural production. This, therefore, calls for very specific extension programs, education, and outreach on adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change among farmers. This present study also established that policies and interventions are needed in support of farmers to deal with the implications of climate change for food security in Egypt.
