Gridded crop modeling to simulate impacts of climate change and adaptation benefits in ACASA
Gridded crop modeling builds an understanding of how climate change impacts crops, helping researchers to adapt agricultural methods and combat food insecurity. Global temperatures are projected to warm between 1.5-2 degrees Celsius by the year 2050, and 2-4 degrees Celsius by 2100. This is likely to change precipitation patterns, which will impact crop yields, water […]
