Task: Summarize the
following passage
≪温暖化と食糧危機の関係についてまとめておきましょう。≫
(1) Global warming, combined with
population increase and rapidly rising standard of living as a result of
globalization, is worsening the problem of food shortage. (2) For example, because of rising temperature, flora and fauna in
each area on this planet have been changing and affecting agriculture. Farmers
are starting to have difficulty growing the same crops in the same ways as in
the past. Studies on new types of crops more suitable to new weather patterns
are devastatingly behind the speed of climate change and governments have not
seriously started funding these studies. (3)
The number of inundated fields due to rising sea level or flood is increasing,
and water shortage caused by desertification, extremely rapid thawing of
glacier, or drought caused by climate change is already happening. (4) It is clear that many parts of the
world will have more difficulty providing people with enough food.

for Ideas and Expressions, Lesson 2 Supplement)
