MIT Workshop Explores Interactions of Food, Water, and Agriculture in Changing Climate

There is little doubt that the Earth's rapidly changing climate will have a significant impact on agriculture around the world. Yields are likely to increase in some places and decrease in others, and regions may shift to entirely different crops and practices. But many important aspects of just how and where those impacts will occur remain unknown.
