Mexico Stares At Food Shortage & Price Rise; Drought Impacts 81% Of The North America Country

Mexico is suffering from food price hikes and potential food shortages. The dip in agricultural yields caused by extreme weather has led to a rise in food prices. Mexico has also been grappling with the challenges posed by extreme drought. The extreme drought has impacted a staggering 81 per cent of the country. Policy analysts hope the government will reinstate agricultural support programs. Mexico is a highly climate-vulnerable country with a very climate-concerned population. Its leadership has thus far taken insufficient steps towards fixing the climate crisis. New President Claudia Sheinbaum is seeking to change the trajectory of climate policies.
