What's for Lunch: Under Pressure from Climate Change, A Global Tour of Our Changing Lunchscape | @pritheworld
Climate change is starting to reshape the world as we know it, and agriculture — that vast, abstract beast of a process that brings all of us our food and is the basis for all human civilization — is in the cross-hairs. It’s being affected by climate change — by changes in weather patterns, water supplies, growing seasons, ranges of harmful and beneficial insects and just about every natural factor it depends on — and it’s also a major contributor to climate change, through its massive consumption of fossil fuels and its production of greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide.
So coming or going — as both a casualty and a cause of climate change — what’s for lunch will and must change.
