Abstract:
|
For the last one hundred years, the rate of global warming over the last fifty years was almost double that for the period as a whole. Climate changes affect the crop growth in ecological, biophysical and economic systems. There was little awareness how the changes of solar radiation, temperature, precipitation and water resources might affect the longer-term agricultural production. This paper examines large data sets containing a variety of climate and agricultural data to uncover hidden patterns between climate changes and agricultural production. The data is analyzed using data mining and statistical learning to present the challenges of producing food on a warming planet.
