Climate change is projected to have significant effects on agricultural productivity by 2050, with yields decreasing by 10-25% in many regions, especially in developing countries. Increased temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and the prevalence of pests and diseases threaten food security, necessitating adaptive strategies such as crop diversification and improved water management. #didyouknow #cafs #africa #zerohunger #foodsecurity #cafsafrica #communityaction Azeez A.

Floods in Europe and droughts in Africa are just some examples of how climate change is affecting our world. These events not only harm the environment but also contribute to a global food crisis, making it harder for farmers to grow enough food. We understand that #climatechange is a call to action, and #sustainableagriculture is the answer. This is why we develop and research efficient, science-based #biostimulant raw materials. These innovative #agrosolutions help crops thrive in challenging conditions, such as droughts, while also improving #foodquality and #increasingyields. 📩 Contact us today to learn more about our agrosolutions. #ajinomotoagrosolutions #biostimulants #agroinnovation

In the heart of Kebbi State, Nigeria, smallholder farmers face the harsh realities of a changing climate that threatens their crops, income, and way of life. This documentary shot courtesy of GHI sheds light on the resilience and resourcefulness of these farmers as they navigate unpredictable weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and flooding, all while battling the uncertainty of an increasingly hostile environment. Through their stories, we witness not only the devastating impact of climate change but also the strength and determination required to adapt and survive in the face of these challenges.

Today is World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. Everyone in the world has the right to food and water. However, climate change is making countries more and more vulnerable to desertification and droughts, threatening food security for millions in countries with challenges growing productive crops. De-desertification using climate technology like biochar can offer countries who are suffering from food supply challenges the ability to grow crops on land which was previously unusable for agriculture. At A Healthier Earth, we are looking at how geo-specific climate solutions can help improve food security and reduce the odds of a global food shock. https://lnkd.in/etVpMHCg

Climate change is the most important concern of this century. A developing country like Pakistan whose GDP is heavily dependent on agriculture than 1. Land use 2. Reforestation 3. Restoration of land use are a key points of the agenda. Share of Agriculture in the GDP of Pakistan is 22%. So by that way climate adaptation and mitigation is easy to adopt for sustainable food production rather than controlling the industries. #climatechange #agriculture #climate

Extreme weather events and shifting seasons disrupt crop yields, with predictions indicating a potential decline of up to 30% by 2050 if adaptation measures are not implemented. Additionally, 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒊𝒍 𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 exacerbate these challenges, leading to reduced agricultural productivity and heightened poverty, particularly in vulnerable regions. As farmers face these escalating risks, the need for climate-smart agricultural practices becomes critical to ensure food security and sustain livelihoods. # Save water # Save soil # Save Agriculture....

Agricultural systems endure frequent heat waves, flooding, and drought—often all in one season. Averting rising crop losses requires developing policies and programs that help the agricultural sector—and particularly small-scale producers in the Global South—adapt to climate impacts and reduce GHG emissions. This blog by Suresh Babu, Yogendra Kumar Karki, Aniq Fadhillah and Nandita Srivastava looks at lessons and insights from national multistakeholder consultations in three countries facing frequent #climateshocks—#India, #Indonesia, and #Nepal—that have focused on developing solutions to these problems: https://lnkd.in/emThRhjf CGIAR IFPRI South Asia

In the past months, Cyclones like Michaung and Remal have led to severe crop losses, indebtedness, and tragically, #farmer suicides. 👨🏽🌾 👩🏽💻 Recent discussions at the 32nd International Conference of Agricultural Economists (ICAE) in India spotlighted the urgent need for #digitalsolutions and equitable access to technology for climate resiliency. With successful implementation, these systems can save lives, safeguard livelihoods, and ensure our #foodsystems remain resilient. To truly address these challenges, stakeholders must work together to bridge gaps in digitalisation, technology access, and funding. Read more on this blog, written by Mousumi K.

India's water crisis demands urgent action, especially in the face of changing rainfall patterns. Climate change disrupts our traditional monsoon patterns, leading to severe water scarcity. It's time for a robust action plan to mitigate these effects. Climate change action plans are crucial in safeguarding our water resources, ensuring agricultural productivity, and enhancing water security for all. The country’s plight due to the water crisis and the solutions needed, understand it all here: https://bit.ly/4cHtz2S #Sustainability #WaterResources #WaterEconomy #WaterScarcity #BengaluruWaterCrisis #ClimateChange #PolicyMatters

A new normal in the monsoon! My article in the Financial Express (India) on the long-term changes we have seen and how the monsoon will behave in a warmer climate in the future. We need to sensitize farmers and water resource managers to these changes and help them prepare appropriate adaptation measures. We should help farmers understand these changes in monsoon variability so that they can adopt new farming practices. It is high time that policy makers intervene and develop strategies to cope with these changes in monsoon variability. "Business as usual" can be disastrous because the monsoon is bread and butter or rice and dal for us. With the growing population, we should not be faced with a shortage of food and water, the basic requirements for the survival of mankind. Is anyone listening?
