Heat impacts on food production now regularly present themselves.
“We have been worried about this for years, saying the issue was going to get worse—now it is,” says Zitouni Ould-Dada, deputy director in the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). “Crops need a norm (常态); any changes or disturbance to cycles will lead to negative impacts. Some crops simply won’t grow in certain areas any more. Drought affects the quality of the soil, the minerals, and the productivity of the plant.”
Research shows that yields of some crops, such as maize and wheat in many lower-latitude regions, have already been affected by climate change. However, yields of maize, wheat and sugar beet in higher latitudes have been affected positively in recent decades. “Some crops are more tolerant of heat but, over time, if these temperatures become the norm, and are followed by extremely high heat on occasion, all crops eventually get affected,” Ould-Dada warns.
Heat impacts are not only limited to food production. Smaller yields and changing growing zones could lead to greater use of fertilizers and water, and the further loss of biodiversity. Domestic animals are just as vulnerable (易受……伤害的) to heat stress, with knock-on impacts on cattle raised for meat and dairy animals. Meanwhile, fisheries and aquaculture (水产养殖业) face issues around warmer waters and acidification.
“A heating world,” says Ould-Dada, “is forcing us to rethink how we produce food, process it and store it.” The key message, argues Ould-Dada, is for farmers to exchange best practice and diversify: if one crop falls to heat, another may grow. Besides, farmers could be creative, for example, by installing solar panels in fields; plants benefit from shade and the panels generate electricity and gather rainwater. “Food production itself will cause the emission of CO2. We have to do this in a way that benefits nature, the livelihoods of farmers and local communities,” adds Ould-Dada.
( )1.What effect does heat have on food production according to the passage
A.The overall yields of food have not been affected.
B.The output of certain crops in lower latitudes has increased.
C.Some crops are not likely to adapt to certain areas any more.

C.The loss of biodiversity.
D.Issues on fisheries and aquaculture.
( )3.What is the key to coping with heat impacts on food production
A.Creating new plant species.

B.We had better take environment-friendly measures.
C.A heating world is pushing us to produce healthy food.
D.Food production is merely to blame for climate change.

［2025·湖北部分名校高二期中联考］
Heat impacts on food production now regularly present
themselves.
“We have been worried about this for years, saying the
issue was going to get worse—now it is,” says Zitouni Ould-
Dada, deputy director in the Office of Climate Change,
Biodiversity and Environment at the UN Food and Agriculture
1

Organization (FAO). “Crops need a norm (常态); any changes or
disturbance to cycles will lead to negative impacts. Some crops
simply won't grow in certain areas any more. Drought affects
the quality of the soil, the minerals, and the productivity of the
plant.”
Research shows that yields of some crops, such as maize
and wheat in many lower-latitude regions, have already been
affected by climate change. However, yields of maize, wheat and
sugar beet in higher latitudes have been affected positively in
1

3

recent decades. “Some crops are more tolerant of heat but,
over time, if these temperatures become the norm, and are
followed by extremely high heat on occasion, all crops
eventually get affected,” Ould-Dada warns.
Heat impacts are not only limited to food production.
Smaller yields and changing growing zones could lead to
greater use of fertilizers and water, and the further loss of
biodiversity. Domestic animals are just as vulnerable (易受……伤
害的) to heat stress, with knock-on impacts on cattle raised for
1
2
3
4
meat and dairy animals. Meanwhile, fisheries and aquaculture
(水产养殖业) face issues around warmer waters and acidification.
“A heating world,” says Ould-Dada, “is forcing us to rethink
how we produce food, process it and store it.” The key
message, argues Ould-Dada, is for farmers to exchange best
practice and diversify: if one crop falls to heat, another may
grow. Besides, farmers could be creative, for example, by
installing solar panels in fields; plants benefit from shade and
the panels generate electricity and gather rainwater.

“Food production itself will cause the emission of CO . We have
to do this in a way that benefits nature, the livelihoods of
farmers and local communities,” adds Ould-Dada.
