Global Warming & Our Farmers
Next week, the Center for Urban Education and Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA) will be hosting a discussion called "Agriculture in a Warmer World." The discussion will include presentations from two different researchers and will focus on how climate change will impact food supply, food distribution, and food security. Dr. W. Michael Hanemann is Director of the California Climate Change Center at UC Berkeley, and Dr. David Lobell is a Senior Research Scholar at Stanford's Program on Food Security and the Environment. We're already seeing changes in our food supply due to global warming. Just this past weekend, an international conference was held in Barcelona to talk about the effects of climate change on the wine industry. And in August, a top UN official warned that climate change could have devastating effects on food production in India. CUESA's last informational panel was on food safety, and covered topics ranging from genetic engineering, food recalls, and the leafy green industry in California. "Agriculture in a Warmer World" is part one of a two-part series. The second, to be held in about a month, is called "Climate Friendly Eating" and will focus on how our personal food choices affect the climate.
