Climate ChangeClimate change means that over a long period, the usual temperature and weather patterns in a certain place—or even the whole Earth—start to change. This means that weather becomes less predictable. For example, places that used to have steady rain or consistent seasons might now experience unusual droughts, floods, or storms.Because farmers rely heavily on predictable weather—like knowing when it will rain or how warm it will be—these changes make it harder to grow and maintain crops. If the temperature suddenly gets too hot or cold, or if rain falls too early, too late, or not enough, plants can fail to grow properly, which affects food production.Besides farming, climate change is linked to more extreme and damaging weather events like hurricanes, heatwaves, wildfires, and heavy storms. These events can cause widespread damage to communities, ecosystems, and economies.
