Wheat Study Shows How Climate Change will lead to Low-Quality Food

Nature World: A new study on wheat shows that rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide will prevent plants from using nitrates to make proteins. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that plants exposed to higher levels of carbon dioxide tend to reduce assimilation of nitrate into proteins leading to poor-quality grains. According to Environment Protection Agency, a rise in temperature and carbon dioxide concentration can increase crop yield temporarily in some areas....

CBS: The nutritional quality of food crops may be at risk if climate change intensifies, according to a recent study. In a wheat field test, scientists found that elevated carbon dioxide may inhibit plants' assimilation of nitrate into proteins. The findings were published online in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 6. "Food quality is declining under the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide that we are experiencing," said lead author Arnold Bloom, a professor in the Department of Plant...

Grist: The world as we knew it is gone. Even if nobody is talking explicitly about it, its clear that something terrible has happened and in its wake, humanity must once again reset its priorities. Can we, in this resource-scarce new world, fashion some kind of idyllic agrarian commune with shared goods, serene faces, and hemp robes? Or are we doomed to be selfish hoarders, creating even greater scarcity which we can then leverage for our own benefit? Also, is that is that some kind of genetically...

Has climate change adaptation lost its way?

Reuters: Poor farmers regrow trees on their land in the Sahel for food, animal fodder, fuel and crop protection. Communities threatened by rising seas on the Carteret atoll in Papua New Guinea move permanently to Bougainville, the country's main island. The Netherlands devises coastal and river-flood protection schemes with a planning horizon of two centuries. Scientists collaborate to breed new varieties of drought-tolerant maize for Africa. What do these efforts have in common, beyond targeting the rising...
