"Maximizing Nutrition in a Changing Climate: The Power of a Green Diet"

Climate change is impacting the nutritional value of our food, with increased carbon dioxide levels leading to imbalanced plant nutrition, affecting human health and food security. Short-term impacts include extreme weather events affecting crop yields, while medium-term effects involve changes in plant chemistry due to excess carbon dioxide. Long-term effects include altered soil composition, impacting future harvests. Certain crops like corn and legumes may offer solutions, but overall, the nutritional security of our food is at risk, especially in countries heavily reliant on specific crops like rice.
