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).

Actually it's a slow and silent destruction currently less highlighted by most of us. The catastrophic events got more media which are, of course, likely to occur and devastating but there are some particular vulnerable regions for those. But what'll happen if the reduction in food production occurs due to future changes in climate? Can any country or region escape this crisis? The answer is NO. Then what to do to combat this even bigger issue?
