We suggest that the unprecedented and unintended decrease of emissions of air pollutants during the COVID-19 lock-down could lead to declining seasonal ozone concentrations, and positive impacts on crop...

This yearly summary reviews the main climate extremes described by the WMO state of the climate preliminary report for 2019 that had an impact on agricultural production according to JRC’s agricultural...

Greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change, and agriculture is the most vulnerable sector. Farmers do have some capability to adapt to changing weather and climate, but this capability...

Large-scale modes of climate variability can force widespread crop yield anomalies and are therefore often presented as a risk to food security. We quantify how...

The incidence of hunger is now at one in nine people on the planet, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)1, which marks a notable decline despite an equally...

Growing conditions for crops such as coffee and wine grapes are shifting to track climate change. Research on these crop responses has focused principally on impacts...

Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32-multi-model...

The presentation is dealing with climate extremes that affect agricultural production, cause economic losses and alter the agricultural markets. Extremes are difficult to characterise, but novel approaches have...

Climate extremes have profound impacts on key socio-economic sectors such as agriculture. In a changing climate context, characterised by an intensification of these extremes and where the population is expected...

Climate change will have far-reaching impacts on crop, livestock and fisheries production, and will change the prevalence of crop pests. Many of these impacts are already...
