NEW YORK, Nov 4 ― We all know that we will have to eat less meat in the future, since livestock farming is responsible for about 15 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. But did you know that other staple foods could one day be less present on our plates due to the effects of climate change, like drought and repeated rainy episodes?

Warmer air and reduced water resources would certainly do no favours to zucchini, tomatoes and other vegetables.
