This article aims to create awareness of the effect of climate change on the Maltese farming sector and on local agricultural products. Farmers provide an insight on how too little or too much rainfall affects their crops. The article describes briefly what climate change is and mentions some of the measures that local farmers carry out to protect and sustain their crops. The article ends on a positive note suggesting small actions that the general public can carry out to contribute to combatting climate change and indirectly support the Maltese farming sector.

Zack Spiteri shares his concerns about Malta’s growing traffic and pollution problems. He describes how cars have taken over the small island, making it harder for kids to play, people to breathe clean air, and nature to thrive. With more cars than people and thousands of old, polluting vehicles on the roads, Malta is facing serious environmental challenges. Zack talks about government efforts like offering money to people who give up their cars, promoting electric vehicles, and making public transport free. However, he believes that real change will only come if everyone works together—by using bikes, buses, and walking more. Zack dreams of a cleaner, quieter Malta where birdsong replaces car horns, and he encourages everyone to help protect the island’s future.
