The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) reveals that by 2050, Climate Change will lead to higher temperatures and mixed rainfall, leading to changes in crop yields and growth of the agricultural sector, higher food prices, less availability of food, and increased child malnutrition. This report also says that the warming in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to be higher than the global average, and many regions of the continent will get less rainfall. Reduced rainfall will be particularly devastating in those countries that are heavily dependent on rain for agricultural production. With Africa’s rate of population growth, the food supply will be hard-pressed to keep up with demand. To address the Climate Change then the media plays a vital role in ensuring that the people have access to correct information.
