Study: Crop relocation can help buffer US agriculture from climate change but southern states may face massive loss of productive land

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 5, 2020

Projected extreme temperatures under climate change are predicted to reduce average yields for several of the United States’ major crops. The extent of these regional changes in agricultural productivity and how they influence future cropping decisions is a central question for the risks of climate change for agriculture and food security.
