I previously 👇 documented 20 mechanisms through which climate change is 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 disrupting food production.

Below I am adding to the list including several newly documented mechanisms.

Other additional primary impacts include:

4. Fossil fuel pollution impacts on crops - this is not a result of climate change per se, but is included since it is due to the same root cause (fossil fuel use): https://twitter.com/JimBair62221006/status/1307120001116188673
7. And another phenomenon that is an intensification of the existing- “flash droughts” https://twitter.com/JimBair62221006/status/1244013330244620288
Most worryingly, we are now seeing a rapid increase in frequency of extreme weather, whereby farmers are being devastated by 2, 3 or sometimes more incidents in short succession. Recent examples:

a) South Korea hit by a succession of typhoons: https://bit.ly/33kW7Nt 
d) some Australian vineyards have faced "frost, flood, insect attack, bushfire & one of the worst droughts on record— all in the last 18 months"
