How will climate change impact agriculture?

This short video provides a global perspective on agriculture in a changing climate.

Watch this video (5:12 min.) from American space agency NASA's series called "Science for a Hungry World". It uses a number of difficult words, so remember to activate the English subtitles and take note of any new words to look up in a dictionary afterwards.

Questions:

  1. Give 2-3 specific examples of how the climate can affect agriculture.
  2. "Vulnerability to climate is uneven across the world." Can you explain what this quotation from the video means?
  3. How does population growth affect agriculture?
  4. If you had the power to change the world's global response to climate change and the impact on agriculture, what would you do?
