NATURE FOOD: IMPROVED ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE RISKS FOR AGRICULTURE
May 29, 2025
In a recently published paper in Nature Food, it is argued that current crop–climate risk assessments do not capture all of these expected impact responses, which limits the ability to transition to a more sustainable food production system. Process-based crop models are key to exploring current and future agricultural systems to identify…
