Detailed explanation-1: -Impact Of Climate Change On Food Production For instance, increased frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves and other extreme events directly threaten food productivity and soil health, leading to severe food shortages.

Detailed explanation-2: -Climate change further poses a challenge to food security challenges with its influence on food production, costs, and security. Excessive heat or shortage of water can impede crop growth, reduce yields, and influence irrigation, soil quality, and the ecosystem on which agriculture depends.

Detailed explanation-3: -We can also advocate for mitigation policies that reduce emissions while resulting in multiple health and societal benefits by simultaneously addressing climate change and air pollution, which kills an estimated 550 000 people in our Region each year out of a global estimated total of 7 million.

Detailed explanation-4: -For areas of the world that are already water-constrained, climate change will increasingly cause adverse impacts on agricultural production through diminishing water supplies, increases in extreme events like floods and severe storms, heat stress, and increased prevalence of pests and diseases.
