Which types of plant agricultural crops will decline production most rapidly in the future as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?
Which types, varieties, species of vegetables, fruits and other vegetable agricultural crops will decline most rapidly in production globally over the next future decades of time as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?
For example, by 2050, about 50 percent of arabica coffee plantations will disappear globally due to progressive global warming.
Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are major producers of cocoa beans. In early 2024, these regions were hit first by heavy rains and then by droughts.
Cocoa prices on commodity exchanges quickly went up. These are further examples of the already realizing large-scale impact of climate change on crop production, more specifically, generating large drops in the level of said production.
The scale of weather anomalies and climatic cataclysms derived from climate change processes is increasing every year. April 2024 was the warmest April in Poland in the history of measurements. Some places in Poland saw temperatures of almost plus 30 degrees C. The spring and near-summer temperatures in April were followed by frosts that wiped out flowers on flowering fruit trees. Many fruit growers lost most or even almost all or all of their projected crop of apples, cherries or other fruits. Interviews with fruit growers show that for at least 2 generations of farmers, fruit growers had not previously experienced such severe weather anomalies
I have described the key issues concerning the problems of the ongoing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, therefore, the need to increase the scale and accelerate the implementation of the green transformation of the economy in the following article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Article IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVE...
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Which types, varieties, species of vegetables, fruits and other vegetable crops will be the fastest declining in production on a global scale in the perspective of the next future decades of time as a result of the accelerating process of global warming?
Which types of plant agricultural crops will be the fastest declining in production in the future as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on this issue?
Please answer,
I invite everyone to join the discussion,
Thank you very much,

The impact of global warming on agricultural crops varies based on factors like regional climate and crop management practices. However, some trends can be anticipated: heat-sensitive crops such as wheat, rice and maize may see production declines due to heat stress, while water-dependent crops like sugarcane and cotton could suffer from water scarcity. Horticultural crops like mangoes and tomatoes may face reduced yields and quality due to temperature extremes, and traditional crops like millets may struggle with erratic rainfall patterns. Additionally, high-altitude crops such as apples and potatoes may be affected by changing temperature and precipitation regimes. To mitigate these effects, adaptation strategies like crop diversification and investment in climate-resilient agriculture are crucial for ensuring food security amidst climate change.
Crops grown in the temperate climate zone without irrigation are more vulnerable to extreme weather events and disease/pests outbreaks.
Traditional agricultural methods (including plant protection) and crops/cultivars list have had to adapt to new conditions as the climate changes. The transition period to new agricultural technologies, crops, and cultivars will be particularly challenging without a precise forecast of local climatic changes.
Citing the literature after Jatav M.K. et al. (Impact of Climate Change on Potato Production in India. Sustainable Potato Production and the Impact of Climate Change. 2017. IGI Global. Pp.87-104), global potato harvest at 2050 on the same areas as today will be reduced by 14% due to high temperature preventing tuber growth. potato losses due to diseases can grow much more.
