Climate change is disrupting farming activities and threatening food systems. Erratic rainfall, prolonged dry spells, flooding, and rising temperatures are among the factors contributing to the problem. Pests and diseases are also having a significant impact, slashing yields and resulting in losses for farmers.

Farmers and agricultural experts are calling for urgent and sustainable measures to mitigate the effects of climate change. The situation is discouraging investment in food production, with many becoming cautious about committing capital to the sector.

Further details on the impact of climate change on food systems are available, including the economic implications and the effects on specific regions, such as northern Nigeria where desertification is a growing concern.
