Great progress has been made in addressing global undernutrition over the past several
decades, in part because of large increases in food production from agricultural expansion …

By the end of this century, the average global temperature is predicted to rise due to the
increasing release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. This change in …

Quantitative understanding of factors driving yield increases of major food crops is essential
for effective prioritization of research and development. Yet previous estimates had …

Wheat, rice, maize, and soybean provide two-thirds of human caloric intake. Assessing the
impact of global temperature increase on production of these crops is therefore critical to …

Here we present the results from an intercomparison of multiple global gridded crop models
(GGCMs) within the framework of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement …

Food security and land required for food production largely depend on rate of yield gain of
major cereal crops. Previous projections of food security are often more optimistic than what …

Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change.
Plausible estimates of these climate change impacts require combined use of climate, crop …

Extreme heat stress during the crop reproductive period can be critical for crop productivity.
Projected changes in the frequency and severity of extreme climatic events are expected to …

Standardization of crop yield estimation methods at various levels of farming helps to obtain
accurate agricultural statistics as well as assessing the suitability of agricultural practices …

Background For agricultural systems to achieve climate-smart objectives, including
improved food security and rural livelihoods as well as climate change adaptation and …
