As the old saying goes, "You reap what you sow." Unfortunately, with the changing climate, many farmers are experiencing unpredictable weather patterns that are making it difficult to grow crops. Droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, which is leading to lower crop yields and higher food prices.

In addition, climate change is affecting the distribution and availability of certain foods. For example, warmer temperatures are causing fish populations to migrate to cooler waters, which is affecting fishing industries and the price of seafood.

The effects of climate change on our food supply are not just limited to cost. It's also leading to food insecurity, particularly in low-income communities. The most vulnerable populations are feeling the brunt of these changes, which is a reminder that we need to take action to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Printed "weather", the speaker says "climate"

Explanation: Listen for "the changing climate". You see "weather" on the page, but the audio says a different word. Both words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "relocate", the speaker says "migrate"

Explanation: You will hear "to migrate to cooler". The printed word "relocate" is on the page but not in the audio. Both words end with the same letters, so listen to the beginning of the word.

Printed "reserve", the speaker says "supply"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "food supply are". That page word "reserve" does not match the audio. The two words start with different letters, and the spoken word is one letter shorter.

Printed "effort", the speaker says "action"

Explanation: Listen again to "take action to". The printed word "effort" appears on the page but is not said. The words start with different letters, and they end differently too.

"farmers" matches the audio

Explanation: "many farmers are experiencing" looks important and could trick you. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"fishing" matches the audio

Explanation: "affecting fishing industries and" is a common word that may seem wrong. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.
