Already, we can see the early tremors starting to rattle the global #food system. As #ClimateChange permanently alters #weather patterns, #farmers are struggling to produce #crops in the same huge volumes they once did. In #California this month’s #heat wave turned lettuce yellow. In #Vietnam #ExtremeHeat has damaged the #coffee crop, sending #prices worldwide soaring. #Consumers will soon see even higher prices & less of the foods they have come to know & love….

#Climate #ExtremeWeather

Like it or not, our produce aisles are on the brink of transformation.

At the same time, #agriculture itself is putting greater & greater pressure on the #environment & the #climate. Though the #organic & #plant-based #food movements have helped shift production & consumption patterns ever so slightly, we remain dependent on a largely #unsustainable #food system that’s destroying precious #resources as it races to feed the #world.
