Do climate fluctuations affect global crop yields? (ANI)

Asian News International (ANI) reported on the findings of a new study on the impact of climate fluctuations on global crop yields. The article described the key findings of the study, including projected variability in corn, wheat, and soy production, and quoted Senior Research Fellow Liangzhi You who noted that greater uncertainty in climate drivers means a greater risk to those involved in food systems—especially poor farmers in developing countries. The article ultimately noted the fact that although El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) may not consistently present a danger to global food systems, it has the potential to cause global, simultaneous crop failures as it did in 1983.
