This project examines the potential effects of climate change on regional and global food security. Research topics include: past and future effects of climate variability and climate change on agricultural productivity, including projects in Indonesia and China; how to best use climate data to inform agricultural investment priorities; and the conservation of plant genetic resources in the face of climate change.
