    It isn’t climate change impacting crop yields. It is monoculture farming practices that make crops less resilient and yields more vulnerable to changing climate conditions.

      The study is saying it doesn’t matter what agricultural practices are used: Crop yields are going to decline significantly most areas due to changing temperatures and rainfall.

      You can’t rotate crops, farm organically, or whatever out of “too hot and no rain”
