Climate change and agriculture are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale. Climate changeaffects agriculture in a number of ways, including through changes in average temperatures, rainfall, and climate extremes(e.g., heat waves); changes in pests and diseases; changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and ground-level ozoneconcentrations; changes in the nutritionalquality of some foods;[1] and changes in sea level.[2]
Climate change is already affecting agriculture, with effects unevenly distributed across the world.[3] Future climate change will likely negatively affect crop production in low latitude countries, while effects in northern latitudes may be positive or negative.[3]Climate change will probably increase the risk of food insecurity for some vulnerable groups, such as the poor.[4] Animal agriculture is also responsible for greenhouse gas production of CO2 and a percentage of the world's methane, and future land infertility, and the displacement of local species.
