Ritual feast which can be traced back Some 12,000 years later, the food now feels worn out.

But its future is in jeopardy thanks to the climate crisis. Food production is responsible for about a third of humanity's greenhouse gas emissions.

Extreme weather events are damaging crops and can also damage agricultural infrastructure. (GREG BARRADALE)
