The drought faced by Mexican agriculture resulting from climate change has caused 361 thousand hectares of crops to be damaged between January and May of this year – 365% more than in the same period in 2020 – and caused the loss of approximately 1 million head of livestock, as well as the drop in the production of corn, wheat, rice, beans and sorghum, mainly, which is putting pressure on international prices, and increasing our food dependence on basic crops. Faced with this scenario, specialists in agriculture and climate change spoke out in favor of creating long-term public policies to have a sustainable water system, reduce greenhouse emissions, and facilitate producers' access to technologies that allow.
Them a better use of natural resources, since they warned that droughts, and also floods, will be increasingly frequent "because climate change is already here, and it is not going to go away." During the seminar The problem of drought and its impact on the Mexican countryside organized by Bayer México , Luis Fernando Haro, General Director of the Chinese Australia Phone Number List National Agricultural Council (CNA), pointed out that the drought has caused delays in planting, damage to the ecosystem due to soil erosion, and the loss of income of producers, a situation that he highlighted, is not exclusive to Mexico, but also to other countries such as our main trading partner, the United States, which suggests that there will be an increase in prices in some of them. agricultural commodities.
He added that to face future droughts, a culture must be generated to make better use of water and risk management, and apply technology in agriculture through drip irrigation systems, micro-sprinklers, and the use of improved seeds that They are more resistant to water stress. “What we have before us is a public-private problem. How do we adapt the most sustainable technologies that help mitigate climate change, which not only increases the frequency of meteorological phenomena, but also their intensity. Public policies must be generated with a long-term vision; “Not just thinking about what we are going to do next year, but with a vision of 30 to 50 years,” she stated. In the virtual event moderated by Laura Tamayo Laris, Director.
