The increased land surface temperature with the resulting mild winters promoting pest proliferation. the invasion of farmlands by salty water, the wildfires, and the droughts compromise life of plants and lead to destruction of forests and damage to human agriculture. According to some reports, agriculture is the most endangered activity adversely affected by climate change. The decreased farming activity will lead to food insecurity. Plant growth, blooming, pollination, and fructification are impacted by climate change. With the occurrence of shorter winters and warmer springs, plants bloom earlier for a shorter period and die younger.
Around 75% of the production of seeds and fruits for human consumption depend on pollinators. Pollinators, especially bees, are facing unprecedented challenges for survival. With the lack of synchrony between plants and pollinators due to shift in seasons and the decline in the number of pollinators, the production of fruits is decreasing while the cost is significantly increasing.
