CLIMATE CHANGE
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is a long-term change with the world’s temperature, weather, and climate. This can be caused by humans or natural forces.
Climate change has both positive and negative effects on crops. Climate change impacts conditions like temperature, water, carbon dioxide, and extreme weather.
One impact of climate change are droughts. A drought is a long period of little to no rainfall, leading to water shortages.
QUIZ: THE EFFECTS
Let’s explore the positive effects and the negative effects of climate change. Take the Quiz to check your current knowledge.
SMART TECHNOLOGY
It is estimated that by 2050, there will be nine billion people on the planet. That means that we will need to grow 70% more food than we currently do.
But how?
Farmers around the world are getting creative with smart technology, and how it can be used to increase efficiency and food production.
Explore the following images and descriptions of a few smart technologies in your everyday life
Drones are remote-controlled flying devices that can be designed to offer many different robotic functions.
Solar panels are designed so they can absorb rays of sunshine directly and transform it into electric energy.
GPS, or global positioning system, uses signals from orbiting satellites to track the position of an object on earth.
Smaller, portable computers like laptops and tablets can offer many of the same functions as other larger computers.
Modern farming methods are evolving everyday as a result of new tools like GPS trackers, drones, mobile devices, and solar panels!
