Climate change is impacting the yields of the red gold saffron crop from Kashmir this year.
Mir s family is used to the delicate process of plucking saffron s tiny but lucrative crimson threads out of its flowers.
According to Mir, in his childhood, they required 80 men per week for pick the saffron flowers. Presently, however, their six-member family can do it in one day.
Because of the warming temperatures that are due to the processes from climate change, rainfall has become erratic. This has depleted the water supply needed by the saffron fields.
In addition, the Himalayan region has been having its glaciers continuously shrinking from the warming climate. This also caused the water flows to be cut from the foothills that are downstream.
