Swapping rice for alternative cereals can reduce climate-induced production losses and increase farmer incomes in India - Nature Communications
Abstract The rising homogeneity of global crop supply has increased vulnerability to climatic and economic disruptions. While substantial work has examined yield variations in relation to climate variability, little is known about the influence of harvested area on production stability.
Cropland expansion links climate extremes and diets in Nigeria
Abstract Climate change threatens smallholder agriculture and food security in the Global South. While cropland expansion is often used to counter adverse climate effects despite ecological trade-offs, the benefits for diets and nutrition remain unclear. This study quantitatively examines relationships between climate anomalies, forest loss from cropland expansion, and dietary outcomes in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country.
Author Correction: Alleviating water scarcity by optimizing crop mixes - Nature Water
Correction to: Nature Water https://doi.org/10.1038/s44221-023-00155-9, published online 6 November 2023 In the version of the article initially published, the Great Salt Lake graphs in Figs. 4 and 5 were incorrect and have been replaced (as shown below in Figs. 1 and 2). Additionally, in the Great Salt Lake row of Table 1, in the “Change in irrigation consumption (%)” column, “+0.5” has been corrected to “+5”. These changes have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
New water accounting reveals why the Colorado River no longer reaches the sea - Communications Earth & Environment
Abstract Persistent overuse of water supplies from the Colorado River during recent decades has substantially depleted large storage reservoirs and triggered mandatory cutbacks in water use. The river holds critical importance to more than 40 million people and more than two million hectares of cropland. Therefore, a full accounting of where the river’s water goes en route to its delta is necessary.
Alleviating water scarcity by optimizing crop mixes - Nature Water
Abstract Irrigated agriculture dominates freshwater consumption globally, but crop production and farm revenues suffer when water supplies are insufficient to meet irrigation needs. In the United States, the mismatch between irrigation demand and freshwater availability has been exacerbated in recent decades due to recurrent droughts, climate change and overextraction that dries rivers and depletes aquifers.
Key role of planted and harvested area fluctuations in US crop production shocks - Nature Sustainability
Abstract Food production stability against climate variability and extremes is crucial for food security and is influenced by variations in planted area, harvested area and yield. Yet research has focused on yield responses to climate fluctuations, ignoring how planted area and harvestable fraction (that is, the ratio of planted area to harvested area) affect production stability.
