Climate-driven crop failures could hit global food prices

A new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters examines the risk of multi-breadbasket failures — simultaneous harvest losses across several of the world's major grain-producing regions — as a consequence of climate change. The research assesses how such correlated failures would affect crop prices and regional food consumption, warning that extreme weather hitting multiple breadbaskets at once could drive up prices and reduce access to food in vulnerable areas.
Why now: Ongoing concerns about climate change making simultaneous crop failures more likely have renewed attention on food security research.
