Farmers Need To Get 'Climate Smart' To Prep For What's Ahead - NPR.org
Climate change will likely hurt food production, raise food prices and increase hunger. But those calamities may not be inevitable, according to a group of international agriculture researchers.
CGIAR Climate's insight:
The planet's top experts on global warming released their latest predictions this week for how rising temperatures will change our lives, and in particular, what they mean for the production of food.
The report, sadly, is massive and excruciatingly hard to digest. Our hats go off to the good folks at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), who summarized it with easy-to-read infographics on what to expect over the next several decades.
The bottom line: Climate change probably will hurt food production, raise food prices and increase hunger, especially in the tropics.
