Current global crop and livestock areas will increasingly become climatically unsuitable under a high- emission scenario (high confidence) (e.g., 10% by 2050, over 30% by 2100 under SSP-8.5 versus below 8% by 2100 under SSP1-2.6). Increased, potentially concurrent climate extremes will periodically increase simultaneous losses in major food-producing regions.

I believe that's simply expanding on my list of things in the "care about" bucket in my original post. Also, notice the first two words in your quote: "climate change." Not "global warming." Global warming doesn't show up there. The fixation on degrees C is making everyone miss the forest from the trees.
