Pests, concentrated rainfall and high costs: the risks to Costa Rican agriculture in the face of 1.5°C warming
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported17m ago
Recent regional climate impacts highlight severe vulnerabilities in Central American agriculture. In southern Honduras, drought conditions are severely impacting water sources, drying up wells and rivers, destroying crops, and elevating risks of food insecurity for local communities.
Simultaneously, a global temperature increase of 1.5 °C threatens to significantly alter agricultural conditions in Costa Rica. Projected impacts include unpredictable rainfall patterns, increased pest proliferation, and the necessary relocation of certain crops to higher-altitude regions.
