Scientists report that changing climatic conditions led to a decrease in global wheat yields by 5, 5% and corn by 3, 8% and that by 2090, climate change is projected to lead to a loss of 8-24% of total world production of corn, soybeans, wheat and rice. According with others Scientists, Africa is threatened with a loss of the corn crop by 5% and wheat by 17% until 2050.Taking all of this into account agricultural sector needs to adapt to climate change.
