Climate change is already causing price volatility and reduced yields for arabica coffee farmers. A study, supported by STFC Climate Services, used data and modelling to assess how climate change is predicted to impact coffee-growing areas in Colombia between now and 2100. With this knowledge, supply chains can better target preparations for climate impacts and ensure the continued effective production of coffee.
Crop Suitability Monitoring in Wales
There is a great deal of uncertainty in how climate change could impact on agricultural production in Wales. This project modelled land suitability for 118 different crop types, including some novel crops such as tea and almonds, under current conditions and nine projected climate change scenarios.
Feeding the World…sustainably With the world’s population projected to grow to approximately 10.9 billion by 2100 and with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s food system is under increasing pressure. We need to plan to feed more people without overwhelming the planet. Solution Satellite imagery can help safeguard global food supply and support sustainability. It […]
