A trifecta of extreme heat's implications on food systems – on farmworker health, crop yields, and the resulting nutritional intake of individuals – requires the attention of policymakers, community-based organizations, and the public so that we can mitigate, prepare for, and respond to heat hazards in a coordinated effort. This article explores the consequences of extreme heat on food systems. It provides examples of tools in the "toolbox of resilience solutions" we can implement to immediately safeguard farmers and the production of high-quality and ample food.
