“It’s not just weather that will impact crop yields,” continued Escribano. For example, a 2019 study found that yields of crops like rice and wheat are already on the decline, while harvests of sorghum, which is more drought-resistant, rose during the same period. While researchers warn that overall crop yields will decrease due to the warming climate, surprisingly changing rainfall patterns and severe weather may see some crop yields increase. “Not all crops are equally at risk,” explained the charity’s assistant director of communications at Action Against Hunger, Judith Escribano.
