Having a slice with butter in the morning? Or some bagels? How about English muffins or biscuits? Bow to your deity of the climate cult
What does your toast have to do with climate change?
You probably don’t think about climate change as you butter your toast. But behind every slice of bread, there’s a crop that’s increasingly under threat. Globally, farmers are facing blistering heat, shorter rainy seasons, and crops that don’t grow like they used to. And yet, scientists and farmers are teaming up to fight back with new seeds, new knowledge, and a shared mission to protect the food on your table.
The rules of farming, once shaped by tradition and predictability, are being rewritten by the climate crisis. And yet, not all is lost. Across the globe, farmers, scientists, and institutions are joining forces: developing smarter seeds, rethinking how we work the land, and building resilience in the places where our food begins. Behind that piece of toast is a story of adaptation, science, and hope.
From the rice paddies of South Asia to the highlands of Latin America and the drylands of Africa, farmers are tackling the challenges posed by climate change head-on and CIMMYT is supporting them every step of the way. In Asia, farming communities are experimenting with new methods of growing food that protect their soil and water. In Bangladesh and Nepal, for example, digital tools are helping farmers to make climate-smart choices by blending tradition with innovation.
Across Africa, smallholder farmers are improving soil health and adapting to unpredictable weather patterns. With improved farming practices and access to real-time climate information, they are learning to not only survive, but also to thrive. In Latin America, soil, seeds, and rural economies are being regenerated through sustainable practices. Farmers in Colombia and Mexico are rebuilding the land while preserving agrobiodiversity, showing that sustainable farming can also be deeply local and cultural.
So, they’re doing agriculture? Adapting to changes in the climate which have always happened? The hell you say!
When you bite into a piece of toast, sip your morning coffee, unwrap a tamal, enjoy a bowl of millet porridge, or savor a plate of vegetable curry, you’re tasting the final step of a journey that began far from your kitchen. It started in dry valleys, on steep hillsides, or in humid lowlands, places where farming is shaped by sun, rain, risk, and resilience. And behind every harvest, there are hands like Tomasa’s, Francis’s, and Nirmala’s; people who rise early, adapt constantly, and work the land with care and hope.
Agriculture.
Because in the end, your toast is not just toast. It’s a story. And that story deserves to be known.
Piss off, cultists. Of course, what they really want is Government in charge of your food.
