Agriculture

http://www.climate.org/topics/agriculture.html

Solar radiation, temperature, and precipitation are the main drivers of crop growth; therefore agriculture has always been highly dependent on climate patterns and variations. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been changing the global climate by emitting high amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, resulting in higher global temperatures, affecting hydrological regimes and increasing climatic variability. Climate change is projected to have significant impacts on agricultural conditions, food supply, and food security. Español,
