Explore how agricultural productivity has changed—and will continue to change—due to climate change. Use the controls below to switch between observed (historical) and projected (future) changes, and to toggle between absolute and percentage metrics.
Currently viewing: Observed percentage change in agricultural productivity, comparing the
2001–2020 climate to the
1981–2000 baseline, based on historical climate data (AgERA5). Values indicate the percentage change in the
maximum annual number of people who could be fed in each grid cell, relative to the
1981–2000 baseline, holding the
crop mix fixed. Grid cells are 5 arc-minutes (approximately 9.3×9.3 km at the equator).
