The National Environmental Education Foundation published a short report this week on how changes in climate could affect agriculture in the future. While carbon dioxide is necessary for plants to grow and increased carbon dioxide does increase the growth of plants (both beneficial crops and weeds), it also can affect the length of the growing cycle and of course can also change weather and climate patterns, especially extremes in weather like floods and drought. This article concentrates on US agriculture since farming practices vary quite a bit around the world and that can make a big difference in impacts.
