  • Changing temperatures, precipitation patterns, and increased CO2 levels can decrease the yields of major crops like rice and corn.
  • Climate change affects the availability and quality of animal feed and increases disease risk in livestock, potentially reducing meat and dairy production.
  • Events like droughts, floods, and storms damage crops, disrupt supply chains, and increase food prices, making food less accessible, especially for low-income households.
  • Reduced agricultural productivity can lower farmers' incomes, further limiting their ability to afford nutritious food
