Will the world scarcely green vegetables for climate change?

Global warming may make world quantities increasingly scarce, of which South Asia is one of the most vulnerable places, according to a recent study.

According to research published in the Proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences, scientists predict that if the situation continues as the current trend, by 2100, global temperature will increase by 4 degrees C, from This resulted in a decrease of 31.5% in the average production of green vegetables in the world.

This conclusion is based on a synthesis of 174 studies on the impact of environmental factors on crops and nutritional composition of vegetables and legumes since 1975.

Project manager Pauline Scheelbeek of London University of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine stressed his research and his colleagues showing environmental changes such as rising temperatures and anhydrous water sources. Rarely can pose a real threat to global agricultural production, thereby posing a risk of food security and human health.

In particular, regions such as Southern Europe, parts of Africa, and South Asia are the places most at risk.

The study warns that if the agricultural sector does not take timely measures, the amount of green vegetables will decline globally. The study also suggests governments support countries to help the agricultural sector better cope with changes in the environment and climate.

Another study also published in the journal Proceedings assessing the relationship between, food and international markets. Accordingly, when the Earth continues to rise in temperature, it is likely that many countries will suffer from crop failure simultaneously.

Specifically, if global temperatures increase by 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century, the risk of all four of the world's largest corn exporters including the United States, Brazil, Argentina and Ukraine faces less productive crops. up to 86%.
