Study Says Climate Change Threatens World's Staple Crops |
|
|
|
A growing body of scientific research warns that climate change is not only threatening overall food production but is also actively reducing the nutritional value of major staple crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, and cassava. This environmental shift exacerbates "hidden hunger"—a critical global issue in which more than two billion people consume enough calories yet remain malnourished due to a lack of essential vitamins and minerals.
