Impact of Climate Change on Food Production

Climate change is significantly affecting food production by causing rising temperatures, which hinder crop growth and reduce soil moisture. This disruption to agriculture is expected to escalate, making it increasingly difficult to cultivate food in many regions, potentially leading to a situation where certain areas become untenable for farming. Alongside temperature increases, extreme weather events exacerbate these challenges, contributing to a worrying trend of chronic hunger which has risen after a period of decline. The reduction of agricultural viability represents the beginning of what scientists refer to as the 'shrinking of the human climate niche,' highlighting the urgent need for solutions in food security.
