Global warming affects agriculture and food supply. The extreme weather changes like droughts, floods, and sever storms can hurt crops immensely. Climate is very important in growing crops. Since global warming affects the weather so much with the rising temperatures, agriculture is at a great risk. The main factors that connect climate change and agricultural productivity are: average temperature increase, change in rainfall amount and patterns, rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2, pollution levels such as tropospheric ozone, and change in climatic variability and extreme events.
