Kristie Ebi: How climate change could make our food less nutritious

The video discusses the impact of rising carbon dioxide levels on the nutritional quality of food. It highlights how increased CO2 affects plant growth, leading to higher carbohydrate synthesis but reduced protein and micronutrient content. The video also explores the consequences of climate change on agricultural productivity and food security. It presents evidence from field and experimental studies, as well as modeling projections, to illustrate potential health impacts. The need for further research and solutions, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving agricultural practices, is emphasized.
