The development of crop varieties that are better suited to new climatic conditions is vital for future food production1, 2. Increases in mean temperature accelerate crop development, resulting in shorter crop durations and reduced time to accumulate biomass and yield3, 4. The process of breeding...

Current warming will reduce yields unless maize breeding and seed systems adapt immediately
Climate change has been projected to significantly affect agricultural productivity and hence food availability in the coming decades. The uncertainty associated with projecting climate change impacts is a barrier to agricultural adaptation. Despite uncertainty quantification becoming more promin...

Rain-fed agriculture currently constitutes 60–95% of farmed land across the developing world. Changing rainfall patterns could have a large impact on agriculture in developing countries. Using over 20 different climate models, researchers have projected how precipitation could be affected by clim...

Climate change affects rainfall patterns in crop-producing regions: Findings from the study “Emergence of robust precipitation changes across crop production areas in the 21st century"
Increasing global CO2 emissions have profound consequences for plant biology, not least because of direct influences on carbon gain. However, much remains uncertain regarding how our major crops will respond to a future high CO2 world. Crop model inter-comparison studies have identified large unc...

Modeling the correlation between late blight sporulation and climate variables to guide fungicide applications in Cundinamarca, Colombia.
The analogues approach, developed by CCAFS in R programming, is a novel way of supporting
climate and crop models with on-the-ground empirical testing. In essence, the analogues tool
connects sites with statistically similar (‘analogous’) climates, across space (i.e. between
locations) and/or ...
According to the most recent IPCC report, changes in climates over the last 30 years
have already reduced global agricultural production in the range 1-5 % per decade
globally, with particularly negative effects for tropical cereal crops such as maize and
rice (Porter et al., 2014). In addition, ...
