Climate Adaptation as a Food Security Strategy
Quick fact
Drought-resistant crop varieties and improved irrigation can boost yields by 20-30% even under severe climate stress, yet only a fraction of smallholder farmers have access to them.
Why this is interesting
You know that climate change is making weather more extreme—but did you know that for every degree the planet warms, some crop yields could drop by 10%? How are farmers and food systems supposed to keep up?
