Agriculture

With drought affecting some areas and heat intensifying in the tropics, many areas are becoming unsuitable for agriculture. In tropical areas that are already dry and hot, the amount of food harvested will likely decrease with even small amounts of climate change. Less agriculture means less food. Scientists predict that by the 2080s, about 80 million people, mostly within Africa, will be hungry because of climate change.
