Climate change is a key threat to agriculture. Modelling is fundamental to assessing its potential impacts. This collection summarises the wealth of research on improving climate impact models and their use in assessing impacts on different regions.

Modelling climate change impacts on agricultural systems reviews research on developing models in areas such as improving data flows, incorporating genetic information and dealing with uncertainty. This collection also reviews what we know about potential climate change impacts on regional agricultural systems such as, Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia and Oceania, as well as different regions in Asia and Africa.

“This book covers a lot of ground in its exploration of the way climate change is affecting agriculture: from population genetic approaches looking at yield effects to global ensemble models coupling climate and crop models. It examines issues from the small scale, via regional to global; and explores current approaches and the gaps that need to be filled to make projections more robust. The book provides a useful overview of the area, allowing readers to judge the extent to which we really understand how climate change will affect agriculture in years to come, and what we need to do better in order to do so.” (Professor Tim Benton, Research Director, Emerging Risks and Director of the Environment and Society Programme, Chatham House, UK)
