Climate Risks for Global Crops

Climate Risks for Global Crops

Key food commodities face varying levels of threat from rising temperatures and unpredictable weather.

Major global food commodities are facing diverse levels of risk as climate change intensifies. While some crops are proving more resilient, others are under severe pressure from shifting weather patterns.

According to FoodNavigator Europe, cocoa is identified as being extremely vulnerable. In contrast, soybeans are currently showing a higher level of resilience to these environmental changes.

The report highlights that the food sector must now prioritise mitigation strategies to protect the production of wheat, rice, corn, sugar, and palm oil against the worst impacts of a warming planet.
