If there is more CO2 in the atmosphere, it can enhance the plant growth because of the moreintense photosynthesis. So, this way there can be larger plants and consequently higher yields for crops. Livestock can be more available.

Additionally when the plants grow faster they can capture more carbon from the atmosphere and balance the gas emissions.

More CO2 in the atmosphere can help plants grow since photosynthesis is more efficient and they grow larger. The crop yields are increased for food and farmers can benefit economically. Food security can be better supported in some areas. But let's not forget that these benefits depend also on other factors like soil nutrients and water availability caused by climate change.

I think that a small increase in temperature can help especially in the colder regions of the planet. Growing season could be extended this way and allow farmers to grow crops in areas that could not be used earlier. This could help produce more food but this only works if the temperature rise is small I think. If it gets too hot the crops could not grow properly.

In my opinion, small increase in temperature can boost productivity by creating better growing conditions for plants and helping them grow faster. This can mean production of more food in regions where temperatures were a bit too low previously and there couldn't be optimal growth. Farmers there can benefit from that.

Season extension in agriculture is any method that allows a crop to be grown beyond its normal outdoor growing season and harvesting time frame, or the extra time thus achieved. To extend the growing season into the colder months, one can use unheated techniques such as floating row covers, low tunnels, caterpillar tunnels, or hoophouses. However, even if colder temperatures are mitigated, most crops will stop growing when the days become shorter than 10 hours, and resume after winter as the daylight increases above 10 hours.

Increased soil erosion leads to reduced soil fertility, loss of agricultural productivity, water pollution, habitat destruction, and worsened climate change impacts.

Filip Z., Slovakia

2024-12-17 09:09:58 UTC

Longer growing seasons can allow for multiple harvests per year and increased annual productivity. This extension can benefit regions with previously shorter growing periods, though it may also require adjustments in crop management practices.

Improved Water-Use Efficiency:

Elevated CO₂ concentrations cause plants to partially close their stomata (pores), reducing water loss through transpiration. This makes plants more efficient in using available water.

Filip Z., Slovakia

2024-12-17 09:10:19 UTC

Implementing energy-efficient practices in greenhouses, such as using double polyethylene coverings, can reduce heating costs by about 50% compared to single coverings. Additionally, installing energy/shade screens can lead to 20%-50% heat savings, making protected cultivation more sustainable and cost-effective.

The use of adapted crops and varieties (including both herbaceous and tree crops) is suggested by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) among the climate-smart practices for risk reduction, soil and water conservation, and efficient water management. The use of adapted crops and varieties (either annual or perennial) helps to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on agricultural systems and at the same time to ensure stable agricultural production.

We have an increased problem in weeds, because agriculture nowadays is expansive and monocultured. This, results in nature wanting to restore biodiversity with the help of weeds. Now for pests and blights, the problems are that because we use a lot of chemical fertilizers which lead to unnatural growth of the plants and chemical insecticides that kill not only the pests that damage our crops but also the usefull ones.

Studies regarding the effect of higher temperatures in crops like wheat and rice show that elevated CO2 levels and heat reduce protein, zinc and iron concentrations leading to loss of nutritional value for human and animal consumption.

Elena P, 2 Esperino EPAL Acharnon

2024-12-28 20:53:54 UTC

The weeds happen to grow for longer periods and new suitable areas in warmer temperatures. Competition with the crops increases especially in resources like water, sunlight and nutrients. The result is to have reduced quality and yield.

Elena P, 2 Esperino EPAL Acharnon

Weather patterns are more extreme due to the warmer temperatures. For example heavy rainfalls can wash away topsoil which is the most fertile layer for crop growth.

Popi M, Acharnes

2024-12-28 21:03:44 UTC

In the warmer climates there is a higher possibility to expand the range and increase the lifecycle of pests and pathogens. Infestations are greater and crop losses higher. The result is to have a greater need for pesticides, a thing that impacts productivity.

Soil erosion can have significant negative impacts on the environment. When soil is eroded, it loses its nutrient-rich top layer, making it less fertile and less able to support plant growth. This can lead to reduced agricultural productivity and loss of natural vegetation. Additionally, soil erosion can contribute to water pollution as sediments are carried into rivers and streams, disrupting aquatic ecosystems and affecting water quality. Erosion can also lead to the loss of habitats for various plant and animal species and increase the risk of landslides and flooding.

It's important to implement soil conservation practices to mitigate these effects. Techniques such as planting cover crops, using contour plowing, and building terraces can help reduce soil erosion and protect the land.
