Local Communities Find Ways to Cope with Climate Change
Climate change is now one of the main causes of global hunger. It is not hard to see why. If you are an African farmer who relies on rain to irrigate your crops, for example, you’re in good company since 95 percent of agricultural land in sub-Saharan Africa is rain-fed. If climate change affects your local weather patterns, then your crops may wither and die due to drought. Alternatively, a warming planet may mean that next harvest season swarms of flying insects will appear—insects you’ve never seen before and have no idea how to repel.
