Climate change will impact all aspects of crop and animal production in many ways from increases in animal heat stress, new insect pests and weeds, longer growing seasons, shorter grain filling periods, longer periods between precipitation, hotter and drier droughts, and reductions in soil moisture. Adaptation strategies are discussed.
