This paper offers one of the first evidence in a developing country context that transitory exposure to high temperatures may disrupt low-stakes cognitive activities across a range of age cohorts.
Agricultural support policies cost more than US$800 billion per year in transfers to the farm sector worldwide.
This brief shows how innovative financing can help cut agricultural pollution in the People's Republic of China’s Xin'an River Basin by plugging funding gaps for nature-based solutions that also mitigate against climate change.
Agrifood systems are both a contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an important sector for achieving China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal and mitigating climate change.
Remarkable achievements in global food security have been made in the past several decades. Food production has grown significantly and outpaced the population growth.
The MitigatePlus: Low-Emission Food Systems Initiative aims to contribute to low-emission food systems development and reduce net annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) from food systems.
La iniciativa MitigatePlus: Sistemas Alimentarios Bajos en Emisiones tiene como objetivo contribuir a la reducción de las emisiones anuales de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en los sistemas alimentarios.
Rice cultivation in the NLPR regions has moved to higher latitudes.
During recent decades, agriculture has developed rapidly in China, ensuring food security and enriching residents’ diets.
Evaluating economic output and carbon footprint of different rice production systems, based on several long-term experiments.
Impacts of the central South-to-North Water Diversion on groundwater storage recovery within the context of climate variability and other policies.
Agriculture generates roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, without major mitigation efforts, agricultural emissions are likely to reach levels that would make meeting global climate targets practically unachievable.
This paper investigates the effects of prenatal exposure to extreme temperatures on birth outcomes – specifically, the log of birth weight and an indicator for low birth weight – using a nationally representative dataset in rural China.
Insight into how the rice production system responds to external driving factors, both climate and socioeconomic.
