Crop level adaptations to present and future climate are indispensable to farmers because their livelihood depends on crop-based income. Hence, quantifying impact and adaptation options at the field level is yet another important step in adaptation planning at farm-level. This chapter analyses the impact and plausible adaptations for the major crops of the semi-arid tropical region with illustrations from the selected study sites in Asia and Africa. The calibrated crop simulation models that simulate physical and physiological processes of plant growth were used for this purpose. Finally, the chapter evaluates plausible agronomic and genetic options that have the potential to adapt to climate changes in the tropical environments.
