The United Nations has warned efforts to minimise the impact of climate change will be ineffective while attempting to feed a growing population.

As the global population is predicted to increase, how land is managed by governments, industry and farmers will be a core part of limiting or accelerating the effects of climate change. 

The UN’s intergovernmental panel on climate change says humanity will face trade-offs between food security and rising temperatures unless emissions are curbed and unsustainable farming practices are stopped quickly.
