How a super El Niño could trigger global famine Read Full Article #ElNino #GlobalFamine #ClimateChangeImpact
🚨 Super El Niño and extreme heat threaten global harvests and worsen food insecurity this summer, with vulnerable populations at risk of famine.
🌍 Human-induced global heating intensifies these dangers, making farm work unsafe and reducing crop/livestock productivity. Modern agriculture's reliance on fossil-fuel fertilizers and long supply chains are also major vulnerabilities.
💰 Heavily indebted countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, are struggling with high food import bills and debt, leading to rapidly rising hunger. Oxfam urges G7 nations to redirect less than 3% of military spending to support vulnerable countries.
🚜 The current food system prioritizes livestock feed production over feeding people, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental damage. Shifting to agroecological, plant-based farming is proposed as a solution to reduce land pressure and reliance on fertilizers/fossil fuels.
