根据第一段第二句 It's estimated that the amount of food produced will have to double in order to meet the needs of over nine billion people that could occupy Earth in the next 30 years – but climate change threatens much of the land needed to support these crops可知,粮食需要增长两倍才能...
While growth and planting may be restricted by drought, the policy of growing corn to produce ethanol to fuel cars - now a popular political fall back in the US - will lead to farmers switching to serve this market to the detriment of export trade.Bulk materials international...
corn, and wheat. But Grüter says the kinds of foods grown on small-scale farms have been less studied, though they’ll be a crucial piece of the puzzle when preparing the global food supply for climate change. According...
Using an aggressive climate model known as HadGEM2, researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute project that by 2050, suitable croplands for four top commodities—corn, potatoes, rice, and wheat—will shift, in some cases pushing farmers to plant new crops. ...
for water conservation, supplemental irrigation, foliar sprays, integrated nutrient management, resilient crops-based cropping systems, artificial intelligence, and precision agriculture (modeling and remote sensing) are needed to support agriculture of the region. Different process-based models have been ...
Researchers develop wheat to grow in ‘wet’ southern climate,Wheat growers have a saying that “wheat doesn’t like wet feet.” With winters often damp and dreary,
introducing irrigation to increase productivity has an indirect mitigation effect, allowing farmers to grow more crops on less land and therefore reducing the amount of land needed for agriculture. But irrigation also has an adaptation benefit by allowing farmers to continue to grow certain crops despi...
Farming and climate Farming is directly linked (联系) to weather and climate. For example wheat needs dry warm and sunny weather to grow while rice needs wet hot and rainy weather. Farmers have to decide what to grow according to the weather in their area. When there is a sudden change ...
cannot occur in regions where plants cannot grow, usually in hot, arid regions. Subsequently, we also rule out desert regions as habitable (low species diversity; Fig.1a) owing to low water and food availability. To ensure that the model shows skill, we evaluated our Pre-industrial control ...
Further work is also needed to quantify the implications of subsidy reform on other environmental dimensions, including water and pesticide use which some horticultural products do not currently perform well on13,14,17. How to couple incentives for transforming the mix of production and consumption ...
