Over the next month my blog will focus on
agriculture and the impacts our changing climate could
have on crop production.
Global agriculture is currently facing the huge pressure of feeding a growing
population, and fingers
are being pointed at climate change as a rising threat to agricultural yields
and food security. Moreover, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
predicts an increase in the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events,
which will no doubt greatly influence food production and prices. Merged with
poverty, unstable governance, conflict, and poor market access, the consequences
of these issues are famine, disease and violence.
Here’s
a report on the impact of climate change of agriculture and the costs ofadaptation.
