    Claims of the FAO report

    Claims of the FAO report
  • According to the report, to keep the global population satisfied, crop production would have to double by 2050.

    Almost 80% of agricultural methane emissions and 66% of greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock.

    Wasting food leads to 8% of annual greenhouse gas emissions.

    Due to climate change, food insecurity can shoot up to 20% by the year 2050.

  • Solutions

    Solving the problem

    Solving the problem
  • According to the report released by the FAO, planting nitrogen-efficient and heat-tolerant crops and conserving water can save millions from under-nourishment.

    The report also urged signatories of the 2015 Paris climate deal to "put commitments into action" which include backing innovation and financing developing countries for the same.

    Agricultural practices need to be more sustainable, according to the report.

  • Quote

    Pressing need to take action

  • Director-general of the Food and Agricultural Organisation said, "Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure."

    Credits:
  • The agrarian sector of the Indian economy is heavily dependent on the monsoon season.

    Increasing temperatures have a direct impact on crop yield; studies done at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute indicate that with every 10 degree celsius rise in the temperature, 4-5 million tons of wheat are lost.

    During droughts, about 40% of the total production of rice is lost.
