Abstract Over the past few decades, the climate has undergone profound changes, marked by a notable increase in greenhouse gas emissions that have escalated the global average temperature. This shift has manifested in alterations such as the changing patterns of monsoons, rising maximum temperatures, and a surge in extreme weather events worldwide. As climate is a major component of agriculture so this changing climate possesses a serious threat. From the past research works it is found that climate change has a severe effect on rice, wheat cultivation in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Punjab. Climate change also has an effect in vegetables, fruits farming, livestock including poultry. In north east India especially Meghalaya, the effects of climate change are reported mostly in Ri-Bhoi district and on rice cultivation. In compare to other parts of India the effects of climate change in Meghalaya are less but the trend is exhibiting a significant effect in near future. This paper reviewed the effect of climate change on agriculture in India with special reference to Meghalaya. The study also places emphasis on analyzing the pivotal role of indigenous food diversity in mitigating the imminent threat posed by climate change in Meghalaya. In this scenario the indigenous food diversity of the tribal community can play an important role in finding solutions. The traditional knowledge embedded with modern technologies is the key lesson to combat the effects of climate change
