Climate change poses a major challenge to agriculture productivity and can alter crop production. With climate changes, pressure is being put on resources, therefore declining food production and creating economic instability leading to hunger in underserved areas. Additionally, negative climate change can impact disasters such as droughts and create floods that affect agriculture. Ozone depletions and global warming is increasingly effecting and indirectly damaging the food chain (Nursing, 421). This can increase exposure to vector-borne diseases, raise ocean levels, and ultimately have a negative impact on crop production (Nursing, 421). Minimizing threats posed by climate stress is a major factor to end hunger and promote crop production. By implementing resilient agricultural practices and strengthening adaptation to climate changes, as well as improving land and soil quality will double the productivity and increase income of small-scale food producers (United Nations, 2017). Currently, there are 795 million people that are undernourished, and 90 million children under the age of five who are underweight. The root cause to hunger includes factors such as poverty, cultural barriers, inadequate education, disease, geography, climate, and corrupt leadership (Antonio, 2012). By 2030, the goal targets to end hunger and
