Climate change fundamentally shifts the agricultural development agenda. Changing temperature and precipitation, sea level rise, and the rising frequency of extreme climate events will significantly reduce global food production in this century unless action is taken. Major investments, private an...
The agricultural sector will be hit hard by climate change. More than 265 million people are
facing a five percent decrease in growing season duration in the next 40 years due to an
increasingly variable and hotter climate sweeping across the globe. Climate change will
affect all four aspects of ...
