NEW PAPER CONTRASTS LONG-TERM TRENDS IN THE US MIDWEST
Mar 10, 2021
For the Midwest, some studies have suggested that reaching yield targets by 2050 will not be possible without additional precipitation or large expansion of irrigation. This paper shows that this claim is not supported by the historical summer climate trends…

AFRICA: POOR SOILS AND LIMITED FERTILIZER USAGE MASK IMPACTS
June 15, 2021
A study coordinated by CIRAD and published in Global Change Biology assesses the impact of temperature rise on maize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. It reveals that an increase of 4°C by 2081-2100 could result in a decrease in yields of 14 to 26%. Rain fed cereal production – without irrigation – is crucial for food security in sub-Saharan Africa…
AgMIP8 VIRTUAL WEBSHOP RECAP
Nov 25, 2020.
The AgMIP8 Virtual Webshop took place from October 12 – 16th and showcased three themes central to AgMIP’s research and development – food systems, shocks, and actions. The free, virtual event had over 1000 registrants and encouraged involvement amongst those new to food systems as well as experts within agriculture and nutrition fields…
CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSES BENEFIT FROM A GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM APPROACH
Feb 18, 2020.
A paper released today by the journal Nature Food presents a new global food system approach to climate change research that brings together agricultural production, supply chains, and consumption…
AgMIP BECOMES A GRA PARTNER
Oct 9, 2019.
The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) brings governments, research institutions, and other organizations together to find ways to grow more food (and more climate-resilient food systems) without increasing greenhouse gas emissions. It has 57 member countries from all regions of the world…
