The International Food Policy Research Institute has released a new report predicting that India’s food production could decline by 16% due to climate change impacts. The new report on climate change and food systems also projected that the population at hunger risk could also see a spike of 23% by 2030.
The researchers assessed the data on aggregate food production, food consumption, and the population at hunger risk and evaluated the impacts of climate change to get these projected figures. The report highlighted that India’s hunger-risk population is expected to be 73.9 million in 2030 and if the climate change impacts keep on rising then these numbers could reach 90.6 million. The aggregate food production index is also projected to see a decline from 1.6 to 1.5.
The climate change impacts are increasing the average temperature which is impacting the food production system in India. It is expected that the average temperature will rise between 2.4°C and 4.4°C by 2100 and the situation will get catastrophic.
