Food availability and food safety are main concerns with globally increased population. There are many factors involve which can affect the food production and food security. Approximately worldwide food production is obtained from agriculture sector. Climate change is a major factor which can influence the food production at maximum level in agriculture sector. In this pepper we discuss about effects of climatic variations on food crop production in European countries. It was observed from previous studies that temperature, rainfall and precipitation are main factors which can affect the food crop productivity. Mostly Northern and southern regions of Europe are effected by climatic variations. High temperature, low rain fall, long frost periods all can affect crop productivity in different regions according to geographic locations. In recent years high temperature was noticed as a major factor to disturb the agriculture ecosystem by increasing drought and heat stress. High temperature is also favorable for the reproduction of many insects’ pasts which can damage the crop and stored food. It is also dangerous for livestock by increasing mortality rate of livestock and due to scarcity of fodder because of high temperature. So there should be a government responsibility to give awareness among farmers to overcome these problems by making new strategies by changing of crop varieties and adjusting crops in alternate cultivating areas.
