BACKGROUND
Climate change impacts nutrients in crops. The years with the largest annual carbon dioxide growth tend to be associated with the strongest El Niño (the warm phase of a natural climate pattern) causing increased land and ocean temperatures and an expansion of global drought areas (NOAA, 2025).
There are two main pathways through which climate change affects nutrition. The first is due to elevated CO2 and the second is due to climate variability and its impacts such as increased temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, droughts, and floods.
