    English: This report provides a timely and comprehensive overview of how disasters are affecting agriculture and food security around the world. Building on previous work of the FAO on this topic, the report estimates losses caused by disasters on agricultural production over the past three decades and delves into the diverse threats and impacts affecting the crops, livestock, forestry, and ...

  4. Environmental impact of agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    The negative impact of agriculture is an old issue that remains a concern even as experts design innovative means to reduce destruction and enhance eco-efficiency. [2] Animal agriculture practices tend to be more environmentally destructive than agricultural practices focused on fruits, vegetables and other biomass. The emissions of ammonia ...

  5. Effects of climate change on agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    Increased erosion in agricultural landscapes from anthropogenic factors can occur with losses of up to 22% of soil carbon in 50 years. [99] Climate change will also cause soils to warm. In turn, this could cause the soil microbe population size to dramatically increase 40–150%. Warmer conditions would favour growth of certain bacteria species ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_and...

    Climate change will exacerbate current biotic stresses on agricultural plants and animals. [6] Increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), rising temperatures, and altered precipitation patterns will affect agricultural productivity. Increases in temperature coupled with more variable precipitation will reduce productivity of crops, and ...

  7. Soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil

    Soil texture and structure strongly affect soil porosity and gas diffusion. It is the total pore space ( porosity ) of soil, not the pore size, and the degree of pore interconnection (or conversely pore sealing), together with water content, air turbulence and temperature, that determine the rate of diffusion of gases into and out of soil.

  8. Food security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_security

    Climate change will affect agriculture and food production around the world. The reasons include the effects of elevated CO 2 in the atmosphere. Higher temperatures and altered precipitation and transpiration regimes are also factors. Increased frequency of extreme events and modified weed, pest, and pathogen pressure are other factors.

  9. Land use, land-use change, and forestry - Wikipedia

    A 2021 study estimated, with higher resolution data, that land-use change has affected 17% of land in 1960–2019, or when considering multiple change events 32%, "around four times" previous estimates. They also investigate its drivers, identifying global trade affecting agriculture as a main driver. [22] [21]
