Without major changes in seed development and money for farming in a huge number of poor countries, food will become less and less available in scores of nations.

Each time global temperatures increase by 1 degrees C, production across the global population drops by 120 calories per day per person.

There have been numerous studies on food shortages. Many have concentrated on drought conditions, which range geographically from Somalia to southern California.
What the research does not mention is that food shortages have contributed to climate migration. This migration is expected to affect millions of people within a few years. A decade ago, hundreds of people would need to replicate to find food.
