Climate change challenges efforts to maintain and improve crop production in many regions.
In this Review, we examine yield responses to warmer temperatures, elevated carbon …

Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

The costs of climate change are often estimated in monetary terms, but this raises ethical
issues. Here we express them in terms of numbers of people left outside the 'human climate …

Since agricultural productivity is weather and climate-related and fundamentally depends on
climate stability, climate change poses many diverse challenges to agricultural activities …

Shifts in species distributions are a common ecological response to climate change, and
global temperature rise is often hypothesized as the primary driver. However, the directions …

Agriculture's global environmental impacts are widely expected to continue expanding,
driven by population and economic growth and dietary changes. This Review highlights …

Annual food caloric production is the product of caloric yield, crop** frequency (CF,
number of production seasons per year) and cropland area. Existing studies have largely …

A multitude of physical and biological processes on which ecosystems and human societies
depend are governed by the climate, and understanding how these processes are altered …

Irrigated agriculture accounts for∼ 90% of anthropogenic freshwater consumption, is
deployed on 22% of cultivated land, and provides 40% of global food production. Expanding …

Environmental variability and shock events can be propagated or attenuated along food
supply chains by various economic, political and infrastructural factors. Understanding these …
