Using data of six staple crops over 12,658 locations, this study estimates that global food production will decline by 120 calories per person per day per 1 °C rise in global temperature. Even with adaptation and rising incomes, only a third of those losses may be avoided by 2100. While low-income regions are hit hard, the biggest losses are in today’s breadbaskets.

Researchers found that regions such as Eastern Africa and Southern Asia are highly susceptible to drought and negatively impacting agriculture, while East Asia was the most drought-resilient. They used a dataset containing 60 years of country-level drought and agricultural productivity data. 

The World Resources Institute finds that one-quarter of the world’s crops are grown in areas where the water supply is highly stressed, highly unreliable or both. Mounting risks like climate change and increased competition for water are threatening water supplies and, in turn, food security.

This report, commissioned by the UK’s Food Standards Agency, aims to assess the most likely changes to the UK food system over the next five years resulting from climate change. It argues that although policies for net zero are aspirational, the near-term transition costs and experiences for stakeholders, particularly in food production, processing, and consumption, may be negative.

This report commissioned by Farm Journal Foundation explores how climate change is affecting nutrition in low and middle income countries, where citizens tend to have a lower capacity to adapt. It outlines 9 suggestions for the US government to support global nutrition security. 

This book argues livestock systems need to be rapidly rethought to tackle the climate crisis and examines how this tension is governed (or lack thereof) in international arenas. It showcases where productive synergies and damaging tensions have emerged across livestock governance, and where there is scope to achieve fairer and more effective emissions mitigation. 

This report is part of the Lancet Countdown in Europe, which is an on-going effort to assess the health impacts of climate change in Europe to reinvigorate social and political will for urgent climate mitigation and adaptation actions. The initial report, in 2022, tracked 33 indicators across five domains. This report tracks 42 indicators related to the impacts of climate change to human health, the response of European countries and the opportunities to better health and climate action attuned to health issues. It finds that whilst scientific and the corporate sector are increasingly engaging with these issues, the media, the political sector and individuals have low levels of engagement with the interplay between health and climate change in Europe. The report notes that significant political and public support is needed to stimulate further action

This article from the Guardian highlights how extreme weather in the UK is impacting food supply, with low supply and high prices expected due to factors such as reduced vegetable yields from flooding, challenges with imports and food sourcing from countries facing their own climate related issues.
