Most chimate and agricultural research has focus on yield or crops, not the people who workers labour outside. I wonder that, when expose to extreme heat exposure in the future, who will produce for us?
The future of agriculture is more likely evolving into less labor intensive, and climate smart agriculture is one of the best adaptive strategies for ensuring global food security in the future.
Please go through this document for detailed analysis on the subject matter.
Most agricultural research has focused on smart agricultural technologies.
The world is seriously seeking behind all smart agricultural technologies (robots, remote sensing, automated control, drones, artificial intelligence, self-driving, ICT, GIS, GPS, Big date , date analysis, and etc.) all of them are based on reducing dependence on the human (labors) in the field (Open places ) due to the changes he is exposed to as a result of increasing of human luxury, decreasing of human hand accuracy and changes of climatic factors
Your question is quite wise (albeit with occasional grammatical and syntax problems). We have to shift the paradigm and move away (at least partially) from the classical methods of crop/yield/produce to develop a resilient system that can be sustainable through climate shifts (this can be cooling in some regions and may not be warming). Certainly with seasons transposing, thinkers like you have great latitude to create better systems.
Agriculture is an important sector of the economy of any country. Agriculture and fisheries are highly dependent on the climate. Overall, climate change could make it more difficult to grow crops, raise animals, and catch fish in the same ways and same places as we have done in the past. The effects of climate change also need to be considered along with other evolving factors that affect agricultural production, such as changes in farming practices and technology.
The impact of the ongoing global warming process on agriculture, including employment in agriculture, is a complex, multi-faceted and difficult to forecast topic. Answering the question: What do you think about the impact of climate change, global warming and the reduced frequency of droughts on employment in agriculture? - I conclude that it depends on the scale of the average annual temperature increase due to the ongoing global warming process. If the temperature increase is moderate and does not cause drastic weather anomalies, the temperature will be tolerable for people, then increasing droughts and decreasing water resources will increase the scale of application of technological solutions, e.g. in the field of irrigation of farmlands, installation of solar reduction systems or greenhouses. Such solutions will require additional financial resources. Whether people will be employed instead of some of the costly technological solutions used, it depends on the relation of costs (including taxes and contributions to the social security system, etc.) of work, i.e. remuneration for work performed by people in relation to the costs of technology, machinery, agricultural equipment, etc. In highly developed countries, the issue of the scale of liberalization of employing workers from other countries, where the level of wages is much lower, is also important. On the other hand, if the temperature increase caused by the ever faster global warming process is much higher than the optimal one, then the cost of employing additional employees will be much higher. In addition, in such a situation, it may not be necessary to employ anyone anymore if the temperature rises to such a level that in a given area there will be a permanent drought and more and more frequent fires, and the costs of irrigation will increase so much that no one will be able to live normally, function and work on a farm. An important issue, apart from the employment strategy of individual factors in agriculture, will be the creation of new varieties of plants and farm animals resistant to droughts, pest infestations and new types of viral diseases and diseases caused by other microorganisms, which will probably still appear. These new varieties of plants and animals will be created with the help of modern genetics. It is also important to allocate a large part of the production of agricultural crops as food for humans and not for animals, because the costs of irrigation etc. will force these processes. These issues also correlate with the concept of sustainable organic farming, which can also be helpful in the situation of worsening climatic conditions, worsening droughts and pest infestations, bacterial, viral, fungal diseases, protozoa, etc. But this is the most negative scenario that Most farmland areas in different climatic zones are likely to emerge only at the beginning of the 22nd century according to forecasting models carried out according to scientifically developed methodologies. However, most depends on the nearest max. 30 years before the tipping point of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted. After crossing this tipping point, a chain reaction of many mutually influencing factors will start to increase the global warming process, which will accelerate and become an irreversible process. So the future of planet Earth, its biodiversity of natural ecosystems, the possibility of farming crops, the existence of the next generations of people is in our hands and depends on whether in the period of the next max. For 30 years, we will carry out the necessary transformation of the existing economies based on the classic economy of overproduction and consumptionism into a sustainable green economy and circular economy.
In the past two decades climate change accelerated the negative effects of water deficiency on crop production. The successive drought and increased heat flows, which are intensified or resulted from these climatic changes, cause many problems with the production of herbal products in the future
Climate is a complex issue for agriculture. In the less developed countries where traditional growing conditions are failing it is leading to migration. First, farmers to the cities, and then to other countries. Look at Central America, the masses trying to get into the US. The farmers and their leaders do not know how to change growing to deal with the reduced and irregular rains. They could be taught and helped to go to indoor farming (low cost greenhouses and water management). This could keep the farmers in place and the countries could have food security. And it would greatly reduce the issues and cost of immigrates at the US Southern boarder.
It's a very intersting subject. The risk is most crops witch require more wter will be move to other places. So a migration of crop localisation will be the result
Gerald Nolte has definitely put it right. Leaders of developing countries should have developed agricultural policies that encourage new climate smart technologies to increase agricultural productivity and mitigate the ever increasing limitation of resources. International NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that are operating in low-income countries should also design projects that aim at assisting farmers adopt new technologies. They could do this by inviting successful farmers from developed countries to share their knowledge and experience to famers that are struggling in developing countries.
Several research have been done to mitigate the effect of climate change on agricultural products in developed countries. These includes developing and popularizing climate smart technologies that reduces the use man power or which constitutes workers safety in such conditions. But, the problem is developed countries where the issue is not well appreciated. This might not be because climate change isn't treat to developing countries but because of lack of awareness, lack of capacity and other prevailing serious problems than the coming danger. So, in my opinion, awareness creation is most needed to convince the government and even researchers. Responding to global warming is not sth we leave for tomorrow and everyone has to react as early as possible to save people's life.
