Seeds of Change: How Climate Shifts Are Reshaping Our Plates

Climate change is also remoulding world agriculture, with mango plantations being a case in point. Increased temperatures and unpredictable weather are putting strain on long-established mango-producing areas such as Mexico and Brazil, where yields have been falling. Others like Italy and California are coming into production. Albeit overall global production is holding firm thanks to increases elsewhere, climate change generates major challenges to mango production, affecting the quality of the fruit and the livelihoods of farmers. While the world gets hotter, farmers are responding by introducing resilient crops and venturing into new regions to cultivate them.
