Climate Change and Agriculture
concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) by some 30 percent since the industrial revolution, and that rise continues at a rate of approximately 0.4 percent per year. Despite its seemingly minute concentration (only 0.035 percent), CO 2 inhibits the escape of longwave (thermal) radiation emitted by the earth throughout the entire atmosphere, a process known as the “greenhouse effect.” The presenc...
متن کاملMicro-Climate Engineering for Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture
Can farmers change micro-climates around their crops as an adaptation to climate change? We present a novel adaptation technique for pistachio growers in California, meant to deal with warm winters. A kaolin clay mud is sprayed on dormant trees, blocking sunlight and lowering tree bud temperatures, preventing adverse yield effects of low chill. Climate predictions for California suggest that wi...
متن کاملDeveloping Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Metrics for Agriculture
The purpose of this report is to explore useful metrics needed for estimating the short-term (20-30 years) and long-term (80-100 years) impacts of climate change on agriculture, both in monetary and non-monetary terms, helping decision–makers evaluate, at regional to national levels, which adaptation strategies and policy options potentially minimize risk and maximize benefits under changed cli...
متن کاملClimate Change, Agriculture, and Developing Countries: Does Adaptation Matter?
Because most developing countries depend heavily on agriculture, the effects of global warming on productive croplands are likely to threaten both the welfare of the population and the economic development of the countries. Tropical regions in the developing world are particularly vulnerable to potential damage from environmental changes because the poor soils that cover large areas of these re...
متن کاملClimate Change and Agriculture Reconsidered
Despite the existence of a large and growing literature on the potential impact of climate change on agriculture, there still exists some disagreement about the magnitude and even the sign. Our own research suggests that the impact on U.S. agriculture is likely to be strongly negative, based on a series of studies in which we link farmland values to climate variables, and crop yields to both cl...
