The recent global heat wave, deadly floods across China’s grain belt and wildfires that spanned several continents have put a spotlight on how climate change may wreak havoc on the world’s most-consumed food crops. Studies show that future climate projections indicate significant reductions of crop yields in high-risk regions." #ClimateEmergency https://www.axios.com/2023/08/07/climate-commodities-food-supply
