According to a study by the American Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the harvest of vegetables can be reduced around the world, reports RFI.
After insects, birds, animals of all types, vegetables can also suffer from global warming. According to the researchers, if the warming will continue and temperatures will rise 4 °C by the year 2100, the harvest is reduced on average by one third.
The reason is warmer air and the depletion of water resources. Especially hurt southern Europe and much of Africa and South Asia, according to the study.
To obtain these results, the researchers examined 174 studies examining the impact of climate change on yield since 1975. In other words, they collected all the evidence to demonstrate the link between climate and organic vegetables.
The only way to stop this phenomenon is to create new forms of growing and cultivating more resistant varieties of vegetables.
Scientists warn: "We must act quickly." They fear that if you don't take any action, this degradation crops will only increase.
