This research delves into the dynamic interplay between irrigation practices, wetland rice productivity (Oryza sativa L.), and the prevailing impacts of climate change in North Sumatra Province. As climate patterns shift, the vulnerability of agriculture becomes increasingly evident, necessitating a focused investigation into the role of irrigation in mitigating or exacerbating these changes. Through a comprehensive analysis of wetland rice cultivation and its response to varying irrigation strategies, this study aims to elucidate the adaptive measures required to sustain and enhance productivity in the face of evolving climatic conditions. The findings provide crucial insights for agricultural policymakers, practitioners, and researchers striving to secure food production in the changing climate landscape.
