Climate change imperils drought-stricken Morocco’s cereal farmers and its food supplyKENITRA: Golden fields of wheat no longer produce the bounty they once did in Morocco. A six-year drought has imperiled the country’s entire agriculture sector, including farmers who grow cereals and grains used to feed humans and livestock. Climate change is imperiling the food supply and, in regions like North Africa, shrinking the annual yields of cereals that dominate diets around the world — wheat, rice, maize and barley. The region is one of the most vulnerable in the world to climate change. But the problem, this time especially, is climate change,” Benali said.
