High and Dry
Photograph by Peter Essick
Parched corn stalks surround Kela Gelo, a farmer in the southern Ethiopian village of Buya. His field barely produced any ears this year, and none last year. Recent studies project that while climate change may increase agricultural yield in countries at high latitudes, it will hamper crops in nations like Ethiopia that lie closer to the Equator. In such countries—many of them poor—forecasts for hotter weather and increased drought suggest a rocky future.
