Thanks for your kind words Yemi. You’ve asked a very relevant and huge question. Climate change is one of the most serious environmental threats facing mankind worldwide. It affects agriculture in several ways, including its direct impact on food production. Agriculture in Africa is highly dependent on the weather conditions, unlike the developed world we have not yet adopted the necessary technology to help mitigate against the risk the weather presents. Crops and livestock thrive well in certain climatic conditions and when there is a change in the climate, the crops and livestock cease to thrive. This could lead to famine, loss of income and increased incidence of poverty to mention a few.Overall, climate change could make it more difficult to grow crops, raise animals, and catch fish in the same ways and same places as we have done in the past. The effects of climate change also need to be considered along with other evolving factors that affect agricultural production, such as changes in farming practices and technology.Available evidence shows that climate change is global, likewise its impacts; but the most adverse effects will be felt mainly by developing countries, especially those in Africa, due to their low level of coping capabilities.As the planet warms, rainfall patterns shift, and extreme events such as droughts, floods, and forest fires become more frequent, which results in poor and unpredictable yields, thereby making farmers more vulnerable, particularly in Africa. Farmers (who constitute the bulk of the poor in Africa), face prospects of tragic crop failures, reduced agricultural productivity, increased hunger, malnutrition and diseases. It is projected that crop yield in Africa may fall by 10-20% by 2050 or even up to 50% due to climate change, particularly because African agriculture is predominantly rain-fed and hence fundamentally dependent on the vagaries of weather.I hope this high level summary gives you a better understanding of the threat climate change poses to agriculture.
