One of the main challenges with climate change is that, however tragic its most visible effects, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, floods or fires, some of its most profound and dangerous impacts are too vast and complex to be visibly observed.
The paper “Linking maize yields in Veneto Italy, to large-scale atmospheric variability, circulation regimes and weather types“, published in The Journal of Agricultural Science, has been chosen as the latest Editorial Highlight and is freely available to download for one month. …
We need to act now to limit increasing global temperatures by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to meet global targets set out in the Paris Agreement. Among other things, this means changing our diets and reducing our consumption of meat and dairy since livestock production has the highest environmental impact in the food system. Hence, the need to transition away from diets high in animal products to more plant-based diets.
