Climate change is already altering agricultural productivity, with crop yields providing a clear measure of its effects. In wheat systems, rising temperatures have been shown to reduce production by 12% (Smith et al., 2020), a finding that is particularly significant given the crop’s importance to global food security. Shifts in precipitation further compound the problem by creating water stress, especially in regions where rainfall patterns are becoming less predictable. In practice, farmers often respond by expanding or modifying irrigation, although this adaptation reflects both resilience and the growing pressure placed on agricultural water resources.
