In India, the agricultural production data from 1967 to 2016 for several crops showed that average land productivity decreased as average temperature increased and this impact accelerated at a higher level of warming. (Representative image)
Climate change is a growing threat to our food system, with its impact becoming increasingly evident. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events, among other effects, are already reducing agricultural yields and disrupting food supply chains. By 2050, climate change is expected to put millions of people at risk of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty.

The Global Food Policy Report 2022 released by the International Food Policy Research Institute paints an alarming picture, warning that the number of Indians at risk from hunger is expected to be 73.9 million by 2030.
In the 2021 Global Hunger Index, India ranked 101 out of the 116 countries. With a score of 27.5, India has a level of hunger that is serious.
As per the IFPRI report, the emission of carbon dioxide per year has drastically increased between 1990 and 2018, particularly in developing countries.
The report projected a scenario for 2030, saying that climate change could negatively impact India’s food production and drop by 16% while the number of those at risk from hunger could increase by 23% by 2030.
It also said that subsidies contributed to environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, most notably methane emissions, from rice cultivation are sustained through rice price supports and electricity subsidies in India along with depletion of valuable water resources.
