Agricultural production and trade implications from closing the global crop yield gap in the context of climate change
Global food security and production is under pressure due to increasing population and income, climate change, and trade disruptions (e.g., China-U.S. trade conflict, war in Ukraine) as well as supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given those challenges, the long-term evolution of crop yields plays an important role in determining global food production.
