Climate Change Is Not Harming Crop Productivity. Net Zero Mandates Are
sri lanka protestorsA recent post by AgFunder News, a news site that covers “foodtech” and “agtech” startups and venture capital topics, reports that climate change is harming the growth in crop productivity.
This is false.
The post largely parrots claims made in the latest U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Synthesis Report that climate change threatens food production. [emphasis, links added]
However, actual global food production data show no sign that crop production or yields have declined due to climate change.
The article, “Climate change is slowing growth in agricultural productivity, latest IPCC report finds,” accurately observes that extreme weather like floods and drought can impact crop production.
