Climate change and food production



An increase in global temperature is well projected in different existing climate change prediction models but there's a big uncertainty about the future trend in precipitation. If temperature increase associates with a decrease in precipitation, the tropical and sub-tropical countries, according to present understanding, will face a new dimension of difficulties - FOOD PRODUCTION. This scenario will result a decrease in net biomass and grain production for agricultural crops which will in turn increase the food prices and create a big economic crisis. Are we currently prepared to handle this problem? I appreciate your comment(s).
