44. Poor people may have to give up eating certain foods because of their high prices.

【H】定位：But for poorer people, those same price jumps will likely cause certain foods to go extinct from their diets.

45. A number of existing farming technologies could be used to reduce the negative effect of climate change on food production.

【K】定位：Until genetic engineering comes to fruition, other strategies might also help in some places, including applying more fertilizer, implementing better irrigation, using machinery that gets crops out of the field faster or installing storage facilities to delay spoilage.
