Rising temperatures are making hard outdoor jobs even harder. It is the kind of heat that will ground airplanes and melt rail lines, and health experts say agricultural workers are especially vulnerable, as they are already one of the most economically disadvantaged groups.
This is a conversation on how rising temperatures are changing the way our food is grown and the choices we have at the grocery store.
