Agriculture and food security are predicted to be significantly impacted by climate change, though the impact will vary by region and by crop. Combined with the increasing global population, there is an urgent need for agriculture to adapt to ensure future food security for this growing population. Adaptation strategies include changing land and cropping practices, the development of improved crop varieties and changing food consumption and waste. Recent advances in genomics and agronomy can help alleviate some of the impacts of climate change on food production; however, given the timeframe for crop improvement, significant investment is required to realise these changes. Ultimately, there is a limit as to how far agriculture can adapt to the changing climate, and a political will to reduce the impact of burning of fossil fuels on the global climate is essential for long term food security.

气候变化和农业适应的需求。

预计农业和粮食安全将受到气候变化的严重影响，尽管影响会因地区和作物而异。加上全球人口的增加，迫切需要农业适应这一增长的人口以确保未来的粮食安全。适应战略包括改变土地和种植方式，开发改良作物品种以及改变粮食消费和浪费。基因组学和农学的最新进展可以帮助减轻气候变化对粮食生产的一些影响；但是，鉴于作物改良的时间表，要实现这些变化需要大量投资。最终，农业可以适应气候变化的程度是有限的，
