Özet
Climate change has negative effects on dairy farming such as heat stress, production and quality loss on milk yield, the decrease in growth and fertility, the proliferation of diseases. These effects are bringing up arguments like whether providing animal protein globally for human nutrition is possible or not and what will be the economic losses. In this scope, the study has three main purposes. First, arguing the possible effects of climate change by means of food security as it affects the milk yield. Second; determining the potential and actual economic losses in macro and business levels of dairy farming. And lastly, determining the necessary precautions. In the scope of the study, micro and macro level research results related to this topic are examined. The limited number of litterateur and country results are in the direction of climate change's effect on dairy farming shows the cross-domain diversity and it will have a negative impact on yield and cause economic losses. In this context, setting off and implementing international and national regulations for local and sustainable systems coherent to climate change is substantial.
