Europa e amenințată de o criză alimentară fără precedent după valurile succesive de căldură: „Criza este istorică”

Extreme heat waves and severe droughts are causing unprecedented crises for European farmers, particularly affecting vegetable and cereal production. French vegetable yields have dropped significantly, with estimates showing reductions of up to 100% for certain crops. The ongoing climate crisis, exacerbated by a strong El Niño, has devastated agricultural lands across Europe. In Italy, drought has severely impacted 60% of farmland, leading to significant losses in various crops and livestock production. Governments are responding with financial aid to support the struggling agricultural sector.
