Agriculture 

The projected climate changes can affect crop yields, livestock management and location of production with important risks for farm income and land abandonment in certain parts of the world.

Food production risks could become an issue as heat waves, droughts and pests are likely to increase the incidence of crop failures.

As yield variability increases, the global food supply will be at increasing risk. In this context of climate change, the potential impact of the possible increase of biomass for energy production on the global food supply should be assessed.

Maybe new crop diseases will emerge? How can we adapt effectively? Can we grow other crops? Or do we need other measures?
