Assessments of the relationships between crop productivity and climate change rely upon a combination of modelling and measurement. As part of this review, this relationship is discussed in the context of crop and climate simulation. Methods for linking these two types of models are reviewed, wit...

Crops and climate change: progress, trends, and challenges in simulating impacts and informing adaptation
The impact of climate change on agriculture depends on the environmental and socio-economic contexts in which the changes occur. However, current tools to anticipate climate change impacts focus almost entirely on biological and environmental processes. For example, most large-scale crop models c...

Climate change and the socioeconomics of global food production: a quantitative analysis of how socioeconomic factors influence the vulnerability of grain crops to drought
Providing a detailed picture of the values of trees for local people in the tropics is a difficult undertaking. Not only does this represent the difficulty in accounting for values outside formal markets, but it also reflects the multiplicity of the species involved and the many different ways in...

Tools for projecting crop productivity under a range of conditions, and assessing adaptation options, are an important part of the endeavour to prioritize investment in adaptation. We present ensemble projections of crop productivity that account for biophysical processes, inherent uncertainty an...

Increased crop failure due to climate change: assessing adaptation options using models and socio-economic data for wheat in China
The aim of this resource book (or ‘toolkit’) is to help farmers and local governments work together to adapt to climate change. Using the exercises (we call them ‘tools’) described in these pages will help you understand the role of trees and agroforests in reducing the impact of extreme weather ...

The Talking Toolkit: How smallholding farmers and local governments can together adapt to climate change
Many studies warn that climate change may undermine global food security. Much work on this topic focuses on modelling crop-weather interactions but these models do not generally account for the ways in which socio-economic factors influence how harvests are affected by weather. To address this g...
