Climate change and the future of world agriculture MARTHA ANNE DEBERRY SYDNEY FOGLE RACHEL HIMMELSTEIN LEIGH SNELGROVE None Like it Hot General Information Effects Regions Agriculture Food Production North America North America Climate Change Increase in Temperature Increase in temperature 1-2°C from 2010-2039 Greatest in winter at high latitudes and greatest in the summer in the south-west U.S Precipitation Decrease in the south-west of the U.S Yet increase over the rest of the continent Greater risk of flooding with high precipitation Risk of droughts because of greater temporal variability in precipitation North America Freshwater Resources Surface Water Melting and significant reductions in snowpack in the western mountains by the middle of the 21st century Water sheds dominated by snowmelt will lead to snowmelt runoff advances, winter and early spring flows increase (raising flooding potential), summer flows decrease substantially Effects to Columbia River Effects to the Great Lakes North America Agriculture Moderate climate change will likely increase yields of North American: Rain-fed agriculture, but with smaller increases and more spatial variability Areas with decreased precipitation would restrict the availability of water for irrigation At the same time increasing water demand for irrigated agriculture and urban and ecological uses Latin America Extreme Weather Events from 2004-2006 Latin America Climate Change DJF= December/January/February, JJA= June/July/August. Latin America Freshwater Resources Almost 13.9% of the Latin American population (71.5 million people) have no access to a safe water supply; 63% of these (45 million people) live in rural areas Severe stress can be expected in Eastern Central America Eastern and Western regions of El Salvador Central valley and Pacific regions of Costa Rica Northern, central and western inter-montane regions of Honduras Peninsula of Azuero in Panama Latin America Agriculture Predicted 2000-2010 South American and Central American deforestation hotspots and diffuse deforestation areas .
