This session examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity, soil health, water availability, and global food systems. Topics include temperature variability, altered rainfall patterns, extreme weather events, and their influence on crop yields and pest dynamics. Discussions will also cover food insecurity, supply chain disruptions, and ecosystem degradation. Participants will explore modelling approaches, regional vulnerability assessments, and strategies to mitigate risks while ensuring sustainable and resilient food production systems.
