The joint FAO-WMO report emphasizes the dangers of extreme heat on agriculture, highlighting the need for investments in heat-tolerant varieties, new farming practices, and early warning systems. The UN initiative Early Warnings for All provides region-specific guidance to protect crops and livestock during heat events, aiming to move from crisis response to heat readiness. Practical measures like shading crops and increasing water storage can help farmers reduce losses, while initiatives like solar-powered cold storage in Jamaica are aiding in reducing food loss. Addressing climate change impacts on agriculture is crucial for food security, with investing in preparation for extreme heat being a cost-effective solution to stabilize production and prices.
