Rising CO2 levels to cut key nutrients in global crops

Boulder Weekly: New research studying 41 strains of six different crops on three continents that was published May 7 in the scientific journal, Nature, shows that as concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase, the nutritional content of key food crops will drop, exacerbating hunger woes for millions of people worldwide. In some crops, concentrations of nutrients could drop by as much as 10 percent when CO2 levels rise to 500 parts per million by mid-century. Harvard University public health researcher...
Rising carbon dioxide levels affect nutrients in crops, study says

LA Times: The increased concentration of carbon dioxide that comes with climate change could mean some basic food plants will carry lower concentrations of iron and zinc -- and deficiencies of those nutrients are already a "substantial global public health problem," scientists reported Wednesday. The edible portions of many of the key crops for human nutrition have decreased nutritional value when compared with the same plants grown at the present ambient [carbon dioxide]. - Study published in the journal...

Nature World: Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Pictured: Researchers using the Free Air Concentration Enrichment (FACE) system at the University of Illinois to simulate future atmospheric conditions. Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are zapping greens and legumes of their nutrients, according to a new study in the journal Nature. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are currently approaching 400 parts per million...

Rising CO2 Levels Find New Ways To Kill You: Lowering The Amount of Nutrients In Our Food

Fast Company: If we don't intervene, greenhouse gases may significantly reduce the amount of zinc and iron in crops around the world. Add one more consequence to the ever-growing list of climate-change repercussions: a threat to human nutrition. In a study released today in Nature, researchers reveal that rising CO2 levels are significantly reducing the amount of two critical dietary nutrients--iron and zinc--in crops. Some two billion people already have iron and zinc deficiencies, and now climate change could...
