The climate determines the type of location of human manage ecosystems, such as agricultural farmlands. It also affects the weathering of rocks, the types of soil that form, and the rate of soil formation. These changes directly affect human health. Climate disruptions that affect agriculture have been increasing and are projected to become more severe over this century. These interruptions are due to extreme weathering events. Since climate change is predicted to have more negative impacts of crops and livestock across the country, a trend that could ultimately and drastically diminish the security of our natural food supply. People are turning to factories and processed foods as another resource for food. Planning for adaptation ( to address and prepare for impacts) and mitigation ( to reduce future climate change, for example, cutting emissions) is becoming more widespread, but current implementation efforts are insufficient to avoid increasingly negative environmental and social consequences. Actions to reduce emissions, increase carbon uptake adapt. Adapt to changing climate and increase resilience to impacts of her unavoidable can improve Public Health Economic Development and quality of life. The United States the relative recent awareness of the connection between fatty foods and heart attacks has led to the production of many types of lower fat foods. The United States yet has not learned how to maintain a suitable prosperous agriculture sector it's productive capabilities are impressive, but it's Dependency on Unser and polluting and potentially very costly energy supplies. The main factor that makes food so hard to make is the constant climate changes. An inadequate food distribution system is caused by
