A beef shortage is looming and Florida citrus is in peril. In 2022 so far, there have been over a dozen climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. While harvests in the U.S. overall have been good, some crops were devastated. In Colusa County north of San Francisco, fifth-generation rice farmer Sean Doherty was able to plant only four of his usual 20 rice fields. "I've never experienced a year like this," he said."There's just no comparison to other years whatsoever." Climate change can't be directly blamed for every bad harvest or extreme weather event this year, but the effects of it hurt harvests across the nation in 2022. Farmers have always had to deal with bad weather, but climate models make clear that more is coming. Swipe ➡ to see which crops have been affected. Visit the link in bio to learn more.
