Agriculture plays a key role in providing food, creating jobs and improving rural lives. However, climate change is making farming harder worldwide due to rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, extreme weather (like heatwaves, floods and droughts), and an increase in pests and diseases. At the same time, the growing population means we need more food, which puts pressure on farmers, especially in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa.
