Climate Change Impacts India's Food Supply and Calls for Sustainable Agricultural Transition
A report by Climate Trends highlights how climate change is already impacting India's food supply, causing billions in losses annually by disrupting farm-to-market systems and increasing food prices. Heat stress reduces milk production, while extreme weather threatens crops and livestock, with nearly half of crop land at flood risk. The report calls for an agro-ecological transition focusing on soil health, water conservation, and diversified cropping to build resilience beyond yield improvements. Current droughts and floods in several states exacerbate these challenges, affecting livelihoods and food security.
