The goal of the workshop was to build a more strategic and integrated perspective on the threats and opportunities latent in the food / climate issue, and to discuss the hard challenges of moving forward toward common goals in a private, off-the-record setting. An executive session convened by th...

Enhancing food security in an era of global climate change
Agreement is developing among agricultural scientists on the emerging inability of agriculture to meet growing global food demands. Changes in trends of weather conditions projected by global climate models will challenge physiological limits of crops and exacerbate the global food challenge by 2...

Modeling climate change and agriculture: an introduction to the special issue
Agriculture is unique among economic sectors in the nature of impacts from climate change. The production activity that transforms inputs into agricultural outputs involves direct use of weather inputs (temperature, solar radiation available to the plant, and precipitation). Previous studies of t...

Agriculture and climate change in global scenarios: why don't the models agree
Changes in agricultural land use have important implications for environmental services. Previous studies of agricultural land-use futures have been published indicating large uncertainty due to different model assumptions and methodologies. In this article we present a first comprehensive compar...

Land-use change trajectories up to 2050: insights from a global agro-economic model comparison
When politicians fail to agree, very often it is the poorest who suffer most. More than 25 million additional children could go hungry through the failure of Copenhagen, says Gerald C. Nelson of the International Food Policy Research Institute. As crop yields decline, the calories available per p...

The perfect storm: food security and nutrition under climate change
To achieve food security for many in low-income and middle-income countries for whom this is already a challenge, especially with the additional complications of climate change, will require early investment to support smallholder farming systems and the associated food systems that supply poor c...

Climate change, agriculture and food security: A global partnership to link research and action for low-income agricultural producers and consumers
Recent studies assessing plausible futures for agricultural markets and global food security have had contradictory outcomes. To advance our understanding of the sources of the differences, 10 global economic models that produce long-term scenarios were asked to compare a reference scenario with ...

Why do global long-term scenarios for agriculture differ? An overview of the AgMIP Global Economic Model Intercomparison
Climate change is expected to impact global food supply and food security by affecting growing conditions for agricultural production. Process-based dynamic growth models are important tools to estimate crop yields based on minimum inputs of climate, soil, crop management, and crop cultivar param...
