Climate change is changing the map of Ukraine’s crops

Climate change is changing the map of Ukraine’s crops, Tatyana Adamenko, a Ukrhydromettsentra officials, tells UNIAN. “Heat resources now allow you to grow sunflower and get a good harvest throughout the territory, while 30 years ago sunflowers did not ripen in the western and northern regions,” said the weather bureau official. Warmer temperatures are improving corn yields in Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Ternopil. But hotter weather is cutting yields for early spring crops, such as barley and oats.
