MIL-OSI USA: Study predicts two popular American foods surprisingly resilient to climate change (Foreign Affairs)

Foreign Affairs (New Zealand) published an article on a new study led by researchers at the University of Florida (with a team from IFPRI, University of Arkansas, University of Illinois, Washington State University, and the World Agricultural Economic and Environmental Services) predicts that the supply chains for two of Americans’ most popular plant-based foods, potatoes and tomatoes, are surprisingly resilient to climate change. To make their predictions, the researchers developed an innovative modeling approach to the assessment of climate adaptation and mitigation opportunities in fruit and vegetable supply chains.
