Aflatoxins can cause liver cancer Thursday April 22 2021 Early March this year, Kenya, a country where maize is a major food crop, stopped the importation of maize from Uganda because of quality concerns.

Uganda loses more than $38 million (Shs140b) as a result of failure to export grains due to aflatoxins.

But in a few short decades, rising sea levels and changing temperatures could transform where and how we harvest our food.  We’re already seeing changes. Fruit trees are struggling to bloom after warmer winters; cranberries are being scalded by heat in the bogs they’ve grown in for centuries; in Asia, rice crops are being flooded with saltwater. And as the ocean becomes warmer and more acidic, the sea life we depend on is either moving to different waters or being decimated.
