Effects of climate change on farming
Farmers have been adapting to the conditions imposed on them by their region’s climate since the inception of agriculture. Recent human-induced climate changes like Extreme heat, floods, droughts, hail and windstorms, are pushing them further to the corner. On top of that there are changes in weed species and distribution, pest and disease pressures, in addition to potentially depleted soils and increased pest pressure. Climate change affects farming in several ways by bringing the change in
- average temperatures
- rainfall
- climate extremes (heat waves)
- pests and diseases
- atmospheric carbon dioxide and ground-level ozone concentrations
- the nutritional quality of some foods.
