Climate Change and Food Production

We often think about agriculture as a cause of global warming (which it is) and as a possible solution (which it can be), but it is also a victim. However you view it, our food supply should be an important part of any discussion about climate change.

Anthropogenic climate change has reduced agriculture productivity by about 20% since 1961.
