Unpacking Climate Change's Impact on Agriculture!
Climate change is disrupting agriculture, the foundation of our food system. Rising temperatures can increase plant growth initially, but this benefit is overshadowed by negative effects. Heat waves and droughts stress crops, reducing yields. More extreme weather events like floods and storms further threaten harvests. Pests and diseases thrive in warmer conditions, adding to crop losses. These impacts are already being felt, with some regions experiencing significant yield reductions.
