Sustainable plant protection for increased food security in a changing climate

Glinwood, Robert; Birkett, Mike; Kumar, Savitri; Bandara, PB; Ninkovic, Velemir; Pettersson, Jan

Abstract

The global climate is changing. Rising temperatures in temperate regions are making headlines, but there are a host of changes that may have even greater impact on a global scale, particularly in regions where food security is already delicately balanced. Rising sea levels, changing patterns of rainfall, availability of water and increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are all likely to affect the biotic environment upon which we depend.
