CGIAR Climate's insight:

The report, “Mapping Hotspots of Climate Change and Food Insecurity in the Global Tropics” by Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security1 (shows regions around the world at risk of crossing certain “climate thresholds” – such as temperature too hot for maize or beans – that over the next 40 years could diminish food production. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) estimates that the production of rice and wheat could decrease by as much as 19% and 34%, respectively by 2050 due to the effects of climate change. Environmental changes are directly threatening food security and right to survival of people across the world. It is anybody’s guess as to who will be hit first due to this crisis.
