Our everyday actions and decisions all have an impact on the climate. Climate change is affecting our planet and changing our world. It’s causing more natural disasters and environmental problems, which make it harder for us to grow food. Growing food is part of the problem too, as we have been taking shortcuts and harming our planet more so as to produce what we need to survive. In order to feed a growing population, set to reach 9.6 billion by the year 2050, we’ll need to learn to grow what we need in a way that doesn’t continue to damage the planet.
