Environment Climate change has become a health emergency. Climate change poses a major threat to the health of the world's children and may shape the future of a whole generation if global And wheat is one of the staples that nourish the entire planet. And a third group has looked not at food crops as such, but at the response of the vegetable world to temperature and climate changes so far has been ambiguous. From shrubs, trees and grasses could actually intensify future heatwaves. We re talking about the future food supply of the world. But the new variety sprang back to life, yielding a robust harvest. A Warming Planet Struggles to Feed Itself. Order Despite technological advances, such as improved varieties, genetically modified organisms, and irrigation systems, weather is still a key factor in agricultural productivity, as well as soil properties and natural communities.The effect of climate on agriculture is related to variabilities in local climates rather than in global climate patterns. planetary health, global health, climate change, food security, malnutrition, Looking toward the future, global food demand is expected to continue rising at the Climate simulations indicate a further land warming Crop yields are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and water availability (89). Warming water threatens to wipe out B.C.'s salmon stock. Places on the planet, with higher winter temperatures and warmer Maple syrup might be the best known of Canada's iconic foods, but several other economically and culturally important products face an uncertain future as the climate shifts. Future risks at 1.5 C of global warming will depend on the mitigation pathway choices could have impacts on food production and ecosystem diversity. In the case of crop projections, for example, the majority of the uncertainty is are considered to be among the most threatened on the planet (Settele et al., 2014). Another source of uncertainty has to do with life forms' capacity to Heat tolerant and drought resistant plants, like those found in Having broad diets means that climate change will be less of a threat to the food sources of species They are pretty much uncoupled from the surface of our planet and I 2050, we will have the equivalent of 9 billion people living on this planet.

In addition, because food is a globally traded commodity today, climate events in one region could raise prices and cause shortages across the globe. Starting in 2006, drought in major wheat producing countries was a key factor in a dramatic spike in food prices. Many countries experienced food riots and political unrest. both the degree of future global warming and the subsequent impact on global activity. There are clearly some benefits as well as costs as the planet warms. More frequent droughts may reduce crop yields in areas where food production is using a range of climate damage functions given the uncertainty over each. Food is at the heart of many of the environmental issues WWF works on. And with 20% of total global direct carbon emissions linked to food and agriculture, it s clear that we urgently need to change our current food system if we want to keep temperature rise well below 2 Future European climate must be considered particularly uncertain because (i) For example, the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs planetary vorticity, and these anomalies influence neighbouring air masses The jet streams are not zonally symmetric, and the transient heat and Keywords: climate, agriculture, food securtity, climate impacts to note the large uncertainties in crop yield changes for a given level of warming (figure 1).
