A high level of CO2 in the air can change the nutrient composition of crops. The consequences for the population are shown by scientists from Harvard University.

High concentrations of CO2 in the air change the chemical composition of crops. Increased levels of carbon dioxide cause rice and wheat plants to produce more carbohydrates or starch. Simultaneously the concentration of iron, zinc and protein decreases. If atmospheric CO2 emissions continue to...
