This is more important than anywhere else in the world, with the majority of impact of climate change falling on Asia. Sustainability has become the imperative of our time and risen to be a number one priority for society and businesses. In this episode, we discuss the nature and extent of...
Climate warming has led to a reduction of grain crop yields. The sensitivity of maize to climate warming is more pronounced than that of wheat. Global yields of maize and wheat decreased by 3%–12% and 3%–9% for 1°C warming, respectively. Warming is likely beneficial to rice production ...
Understanding the effects of climate change adaptation measures by smallholder farm households in flood-prone areas remains underdeveloped. Particularly, little is known whether adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) augments crop yield and income. Therefore, we investigate the impact of CSA adoption...
