Two Degrees Up: Visual Case Studies Highlight Real Impact of Climate Change on Farmers

 

 

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security created these video photoessays – one interviewing Colombian coffee growers, another Ghanaian farmers – to document how a 2-degree rise in temperature has already hurt some of the world’s most vulnerable people.  The videos show how rising temperatures have damaged crops, led to increased pests and disease, and ultimately forced farmers to switch to less profitable crops – or even abandon their land entirely.
