Climate change as it affects agriculture
Climate change alters temperature, rainfall, and growing seasons around the world. These shifts threaten food production in many regions, especially where farming already operates near its environmental limits.
Real World
In 2022, a record-breaking heatwave across India and Pakistan pushed temperatures above 50°C during the wheat-growing season, reducing Pakistan's wheat yield by 10% and contributing to a national food crisis.
Exam Focus
Use located examples with data; avoid generic statements — 'crop yields fall' scores fewer marks than 'wheat yields in the Sahel fell by X% due to drought'.
