Climate-related threats to global food production include risks to grain, vegetable, and fruit crops, livestock, and fisheries. Reduced yields . The productivity of crops and livestock, including milk yields, may decline because of high temperatures and drought-related stress. Increased irrigation . Regions of the world that now depend on rain-fed agriculture may require irrigation, bringing higher costs and conflict over access to water. Planting and harvesting changes . Shifting seasonal rainfall patterns and more severe precipitation events—and related flooding—may delay planting and harvesting. Decreased arability . Prime growing temperatures may shift to higher latitudes, where soil and nutrients may not be as suitable for producing crops, leaving lower-latitude areas less productive. More pests . Insect and plant pests may survive or even reproduce more often each year if cold winte...
