TL;DR: In 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect and concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects.

Abstract: In 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect. The IPCC had been set up under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme, to examine how climate and sea level might change, what might be the impact of these changes and what could be the most appropriate response to them. IPCC Working Groups tackled each of these three tasks. Working Group II (Impacts) concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects. 1 The purpose of this book is to consider, in more detail than could be covered within the confines of the IPCC report on agriculture, the reasoning behind this conclusion, its implications for global food security and the most appropriate courses of action.

Exploring the biogeophysical limits of global food production under different climate change scenarios
TL;DR: In this paper, an adapted Earth system model is used to investigate the limitations that future climate and water availability impose on the potential expansion and productivity of croplands, and they show that the total cropland area could be extended substantially throughout the 21st century, especially in South America and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the rising water demand resulting from increasing temperatures can largely be met by increasing rainfall and irrigation rates.
Integrating global and regional analyses of the effects of climate change: A case study of land use in England and Wales
Martin L. Parry,J. E. Hossell,Philip Jones,T. Rehman,Richard Tranter,J. S. Marsh,Cynthia Rosenzweig,Günther Fischer,I. G. Carson,R. G. H. Bunce +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a land allocation model is used to infer changes of land use that are the product of the integrated effect of climate-induced global price changes and climate-related changes of yield in England and Wales.

Effect of Genetics and Climate on Apple Sugars and Organic Acids Profiles
P. Mignard,Santiago Beguería,Rosa Giménez,Carolina Font i Forcada,Gemma Reig,María Ángeles Moreno +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , 155 apple accessions were assessed during five consecutive years (2014-2018) and four individual sugars and seven organic acids were analysed by HPLC, and a mixed-effects model was fitted with accessions and the years' climatic features as independent variables.
Land-use management and the path towards sustainability

- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: Land use has a peculiar economic feature in that it has a derived nature: human action (e.g., production, consumption, investment, recreation etc.) requires for its operation the use of geographical space, which in a strict sense does not have a value in itself as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was carried out by administering questionnaires and the study area comprised of two administrative districts namely Kibwezi and Kajiado, predominantly occupied by agropastoralists and semi-nomadic pastoralists respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, models from atmospheric science, plant science, and agricultural economics are linked to explore the sensitivity of agricultural productivity to global climate change, and the simulation suggests that irrigated acreage will expand and regional patterns of U.S. agriculture will shift.
