The issue focused on climate change's impact on agriculture and crops. Scientists believe warming temperatures will reduce yields by 30 percent or more in many regions of the world. One research study estimated that climate change could yield nearly 50 million acres of farmland gone from cultivation every year.

Greenpeace researcher Julia Kloepper told ClimateWire she thinks scientists should focus more attention on creating technologies to cope with climate change rather than fossil fuels. She suggested environmental organizations including Greenpeace work with academic institutions to raise awareness about climate change as well
