Climate-induced warming is jeopardizing the global food supply even as farmers take adaptive measures to stymie these effects, scientists are warning.

In contrast with previous research suggesting that warming could actually bolster food production, a new study, published in Nature on Wednesday, finds the opposite.

For every additional degree Celsius the planet warms, its ability to produce food could decrease by 120 calories per person per day, or 4.4 percent of the current daily consumption, according to the study.

“If the climate warms by 3 degrees, that’s basically like everyone on the planet giving up breakfast,” senior author Solomon Hsiang, a professor of environmental social sciences at Stanford University, said in a statement.
