Technology to keep up with changing climate

"Temperatures have increased and the danger is that agriculture is the backbone of [Africa's] economies," Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, chief executive officer of the South-African based Food says. The technologies helping with agriculture may be less helpful now with the climbing temperatures which could create a huge problem. Africa spends 19 billion dollars on food imports annually but has the capacity to be much bigger if it could produce more. The problem is that with the food running short and not having the technology to keep up with farming, Malawi will have a problem getting what little food they could produce anyways. The temperature conflicts with the technology and that is what needs to be changed. I think that this is just another blow to the current problems in Africa and Malawi. They have enough problems as is, and these current ones really won't help anything.
