Prioritizing Regions Food Security Impacts for 2030Criteria taken into account:
Importance of a crop to the region’s food-insecure population (HI)
Projected impact of climate change to a crop’s production
Statistical Model with:Historical crop harvestsMonthly temperatures and precipitationMaps of growing locations

Discussion QuestionsWhat can be done to curb the influence of the
decrease in precipitation on food insecure regions?Is shifting planting/harvesting schedules enough?How will regions be affected that can no longer
grow staple crops?How will changing crops impact traditions and
customs in regions? Will the people be open to a new dietary supplement?
Developed countries will have less trouble adapting to a change in precipitation. Should developed regions aid the food insecure nations in building irrigation and researching more resilient crops?
