Although the integrated indicator methods have become popular for assessing vulnerability to climate change, their proliferation has introduced a confusing array of scales and indicators that cause a science-policy gap.

University of Guelph plant scientists have shown for the first time how an ancient crop teams up with a beneficial microbe to protect against a devastating fungal infection, a discovery that may be

As climate change continues to alter our planet, humans will soon be forced to find new ways to feed the growing population.

A team of researchers led by the University of Birmingham warns that without significant improvements in technology, global crop yields are likely to fall in the areas currently used for production

One of the biggest concerns about climate change is the effect it will have on agriculture.

The potential impact of global temperature change on global crop yield has recently been assessed with different methods. Here we show that grid-based and point-based simulations and statistical regressions (from historic records), without deliberate adaptation or CO2 fertilization effects, produce similar estimates of temperature impact on wheat yields at global and national scales. With a 1 °C global temperature increase, global wheat yield is projected to decline between 4.1% and 6.4%.

Japan and South Korea have both taken steps to block certain imports of U.S.

New research could lead to the fine-tuning of pesticide formulations to further increase crop yield.

ZAMBIA’S annual national consumption was slightly above 1,500,000 metric tonnes by the end of 2015.

International research led by The Australian National University (ANU) has found how plants, such as rice and wheat, sense and respond to extreme drought stress, in a breakthrough that could lead t
