Study on synchronised crop failure
A recently published article by CSFS Research Associate Zia Mehrabi and Navin Ramankutty shows that crop failures in different regions of the world are happening simultaneously.
“When local crop failures in different regions occur simultaneously, the result can be an amplification of global food production shocks. Better understanding of the role of production synchronicity in historic food system stability is an important step towards anticipating possible future losses.” – Kirsty Lewis, Nature Ecology and Evolution
