Weather problems affect agriculture all the time. But climate change is intensifying the challenges, making it harder to grow beloved foods like tomatoes

. Last year, the planned acreage was 231,000 and 12 million pounds—but as the season progressed, the expectations dropped to 11.6 million pounds, and then down to just 10.7 million.

Tony Montagnaro co-runs Pinyon, a small restaurant in Ojai, California that specializes in pizza and California-sourced ingredients. “Great tomatoes are just a staple food,” he says. “Maybe pizza is running the risk of becoming a seasonal food, if there aren’t enough tomatoes in the future.”No tomato growers are kidding themselves: It’s almost certain that growing the red fruit will get more challenging.

One promising idea was “deficit irrigation.” Turini tested how much water growers could save by shorting the plants a bit on their ideal water amounts during their last few months of growth, when they’re strong and well-established. His initial tests, run about a decade ago, looked promising: It seemed like growers could give them as little as half of what they wanted and keep the overall yield almost the same.

Been difficult to find nice tomatoes for few years, found some home grown in a polish shop. Huge but tasty.

Si ésto está sucediendo en algunos países, quizá deban adoptar el sistema de siembra en 'invernaderos', a fin de alejarlos del clima extremo.

Talk to the 'weathermakers' about this issue. CO2 is not the problem obviously. But chemtrails and projects like HAARP... Happy hunting!

NO IT ISNT.

I like the vantage point in tiffanyjvora's article on the big & small impacts of climate change in our daily lives and how we can tackle it. Mindset, leadership, tech, systems. How we tackled covid19 was a dress rehearsal for tackling climatechange.

Lies

Not for my pizza sauce. Grow it ,make it.

Not to mention the water shortage in some states 😟

Standard fear mongering story with little facts

Look my naked photo ❤️😘

Bullcrap.

Many articles point to the need for California to be consistent about its water usage and conservation efforts. Just 2 recent ones: and

Tanto q no se usan tomates para la catsup , se usa papaya a la que se le agregan colores y sabores, la textura es similar. Lo leí x acá.

My tomatoes are flourishing.

Looks like it'll be up to younger generations to push for the legislation to help this problem. I've just seen a documentary about the youth's response to the climate crisis called Revolution Generation on Amazon Prime. I recommend it!

This is so important to share! Climate Change is so harmful to our environment and it's vital we convey these threats to the world. A documentary discussing this is Revolution Generation. It illuminates the effects climate change has on the world and the movements to stop it.

You want to price hike of pizza

All Rite

nobody said growing tomatoes should necessarily be easy. Tomatoes are not our birthright.

🌱☀️ Grow local.

So there are BELOVED FOODS also! I came to know today 🫰

Fuc&$;:ing 2030 agenda.

NatGeo has lost the plot.

My tomatoes are doing fine Chicken Little.

My everything is growing well this year, Okra, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Green beans, I could go on... I'm sure some areas are suffering, but we getting plenty of rain and sun in the south.

The amount of BS you guys talk is outrageous

I grew 24 tomato plants from seed I dried from a tomato from a store. Put in soil, water, humidity and boom a large freaking plants that are sprouting flowers this week. Climate Change is Spring into Summer YES!!

Mine are looking just fine in the Northeast US. Stop trying to scare people.

it's for every food.. need to heavily restrict people to have children right now. BUT NOT WITH ABORTION. Killing human beings, in any form, is horrible. especially these days for indians there. india projected to be the most populous nation in near future. not china anymore

Bullshit. CO2 is PLANT FOOD!

I like the way tomatoes... ”health food”... is the article, but pizza... shit food, is the clickbait.... for National fucking Geographic. National Propogandaic.

Ah, and I forgot, BESIDES Climate Change, there are also WEATHER PROBLEMS now, which affects agriculture ALL THE TIME!! See, Teach, not just 'climate change', but weather problems too!! What crap!!!

Ohhh, so now, in California, because ambient temperature has exceeded the 'average' temperature by passing 100F for a few days, 'Climate Change' is making it a bit harder to grow tomatoes (for a few days?). Oh, and Climate change now causes disease too!! Take note, see, TEACH!!

Grow your own, whats the big deal.

My tomato are growing well this year, just like every other year.

Yes, more research is required on ClimateSmartAgriculture

I literally just said this…but more like, my plants are amazing this year, yet I haven’t seen any pollinators yet.

Lies. 🤦🏻‍♀️
