== Card #32: Decline in Agricultural Yields == | |||
<center> | |||
== Explanation == | [[File:En-en_adult_card_32_front.png|400px]] | ||
Food production can be affected by temperature, droughts, extreme weather events, floods and marine submersion (e.g. the Nile Delta). | |||

== Explanation== | |||
This is one of the greatest threats to humanity. Declines in agricultural yields have already led to conflicts in Rwanda and Syria. | This is one of the greatest threats to humanity. Declines in agricultural yields have already led to conflicts in Rwanda and Syria. | ||

===Local or global impacts=== | |||
It may be interesting to differentiate between local and global causes. Local causes are: | |||

*[[En-en adult card 34 cyclones|Cyclones]] | |||
