How does climate change and global warming affect agriculture?
assistant
Climate change and global warming can have a significant impact on agriculture. Warmer temperatures, changes in precipitation, and an increase in extreme weather events can lead to decreased crop yields, pest and disease outbreaks, soil erosion, and changes in the growth cycles of crops. These impacts can have serious consequences for the production and availability of food for the world’s growing population and for smaller-scale agricultural producers and communities, particularly in developing countries.
