Food crop production, water and climate change in the developing world
2010
Wheeler, Tim | Kay, Melvyn
Agriculture is central to the food security and economic growth of developing countries, providing the main source of livelihood for three out of four of the world's poor. Yet it is the poorest farmers who are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This paper briefly reviews the potential impact of climate change on food crops in the context of the wider debate on future food and water security in the developing world. The authors ask whether we should wait or act now to tackle the anticipated future problems.
