The Agriculture Affair







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.
