The article focuses on the ways in which climate change amplifies the environmental impacts of agriculture. Topics include the escalation of greenhouse gas emissions due to increased agricultural activity and reduced efficacy of agrochemicals, the intensification of water use and soil erosion as a result of decreased agricultural productivity, and the exacerbation of pesticide pollution and biodiversity loss due to more frequent pest outbreaks and increased use of chemicals.
