Modelling shows a 2°C warmer world makes it far more likely that major farming regions fail at the same time, pushing world crop prices into sudden spikes. Read Full Article #ClimateRisk #GlobalAgriculture #FoodPricesRise
📈 Climate change risks doubling the likelihood of wheat price spikes, and increasing maize and soybean prices by factors of 2.70 and 2.45, respectively.
🌾 This translates to an increased risk of losing 0.24, 0.71, and 1.20 million calories per capita annually for wheat, maize, and soybean consumption.
🌍 Food system vulnerabilities like concentrated production and import dependencies amplify these risks, with climate change further worsening consumption risks by up to 6 Mcal per capita per year in exposed regions.
