Climate Change

Climate change is one of the top challenges faced by the agriculture industry today. Climate change causes erratic weather patterns, extreme temperatures and changes in natural resources, threatening farmers’ ability to sustainably produce and maintain quality crops.

Climate shocks such as frequent and intense floods, droughts and storms affects a vast majority of the world’s hungry. It has been estimated that climate change could increase the risk of hunger and malnutrition by up to 20 percent by 2050 unless efforts are made to enhance the resilience of the agriculture sectors.

The plant science industry together with farmers are leading the way in ensuring the world’s food supply is secure even as our environment changes.
