Povećanje nivoa ugljenika u atmosferi može da ubrza rast biljaka, ali postoji i druga skrivena posledica: oni oduzimaju biljkama hranljive materije i vitamine koji su nam potrebni za život. U govoru o obezbeđivanju hrane na globalnom nivou, epidemiolog Kristi Ebi istražuje potencijalno velike zdravstvene posledice ove sve veće krize u našoj ishrani, i istražuje korake koje možemo preduzeti kako bismo svim ljudima obezbedili pristup bezbednoj, zdravoj hrani.

Kako klimatske promene mogu umanjiti hranljivu vrednost hrane koju jedemo

Higher carbon dioxide levels help plants grow faster, but also strip grains like rice and wheat of vital nutrients. Protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins have all declined by up to 30 percent in some experiments, a shift with serious implications for global health. Nearly one billion people already struggle with zinc deficiency, and future generations may face even greater risks from less nutritious crops. Solutions require urgent research and global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
