A new study by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs says climate change threatens to not only undermine the quantity of food that can be grown but also its quality. Among other things, the study claims that altered weather patterns lead to less desirable harvests and that crops grown by many of the nation’s farmers now have a lower nutritional content than they once did. For example, the reports says research indicates that higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have reduced the protein content in wheat. What do you think?
