⛈️ Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture & Human Migration

The impact of climate change on human migration & agricultural ecosystem is a complex and multifaceted issue that needs a holistic approach to mitigate the risks associated with it. As per an article in the reputed DownToEarth, ‘World Migration Report 2024’; 216 million people will be forced to migrate within their own countries by 2050.

🌪️ Looming Threats

One of the biggest threats of climate change-induced human migration is the food security of people, especially children & elderly. With the earth’s temperature rising, the ill effects on produce worldwide have become increasingly evident putting more pressure on the existing agricultural systems & communities dependent on it.

In recent years, droughts have worsened leading to shortage of irrigation waters, and this gets worse with erratic & untimely rainfall patterns. As per a research paper published on ResearchGate, titled; ‘Vulnerability of Wheat Production to Climate Change in India’; the Wheat production is expected to fall by 6 to 23% by 20250 & 15 to 25% by 2080. 

Adding this, as per World Bank, India is already experiencing a warming climate, putting pressure on its existing agricultural ecosystem to produce more for the growing population & ensuring food & nutrition security. Other notable consequences can be food shortages, lack of labor, stressed resources, unfavorable market dynamics & human conflicts. Regrettably, this affects the poor & marginalized the worst!

💡 Finding a Solution

This problem needs a holistic solution aimed at mitigating the impact of climate change on human migration & their food needs. In the agricultural domain, Biologicals have emerged as a viable alternative, which is effective, safe, affordable & can ensure the productivity demands of crops. Biological formulations are extracted from natural sources such as plants or microbes, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to pest, disease & stress management in crops.
