Various internal and external factors contribute to the difficulty of Iraq's cultivation of vegetables, with climate change being one of the most prominent factors. There exists a symbiotic relationship between climate and agriculture because the agro-ecological zone determines the possible crops and their cultivation. In this paper, we evaluate the consequences of climate change on vegetable farming in Iraq and develop several countermeasures to the impact. There are many adaptive measures that can and should be taken such as modern irrigation, protected agriculture measures, and remote sensing and other technologies. Such measures can increase productivity of vegetables and food aid in Iraq (FAO, 2017).
