Climate change and global warming are creating significant threats to worldwide food systems. Increasing temperature, drought, excessive rainfall, and floods are creating extreme phenomena that have detrimental effects on crop production.
High temperatures are reducing crop productivity in many regions. Water scarcity is reducing land fertility and hampering agricultural output. Due to climate change, incidents of simultaneous crop failures are increasing.
As a result of these changes, food security is being threatened. To address global warming, adopting sustainable practices, improved irrigation, and proactive strategies is extremely urgent. Global collaboration and integrated initiatives can play a crucial role in resolving food supply crises.
