    Abstract
    Climate change is possibly the greatest challenge humankind has ever been faced. It has manifested in calamities of unpredictable frequency and intensity in different parts of the world. Pakistan is facing a multitude of impacts ensuing from the climate change phenomenon. This study provides a brief overview of Pakistani media reporting about climate change's impact on Pakistani agriculture and food sector and provides background information about agriculture and food security in Pakistan. The study was based on qualitative and quantitative content analysis. In this study editorials & articles of two newspapers (The Nation and The News) were examined from 2015-2019. The study result showed that The Nation newspaper gave more editorials & articles coverage rather than The News newspaper on research issues. The finding depicts that Pakistani management should adopt modern techniques of agriculture to minimize the effect of climate change on the food sector. Moreover, this study describes the prospects for the agriculture and food sector to adopt mitigation and recommend strategies to tackle the climate change that would arise.
