It's telling that in times were humanity should have concentrated on reducing emissions we started using more and more SUVs and general fleet emissions went up instead of down.

Every year @cimmyt.bsky.social wheat breeders send out the new nurseries with high yield potential and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses for testing to many collaborators in the world both in the public and private sector.

A study in Nature Food assesses the future climatic suitability of global croplands for 30 major food crop types, quantifying the changes in potential food crop diversity given climate conditions across four global warming levels. https://go.nature.com/3Dp5LEk #foodstudies 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the lowest global warming level that would push current crop production into considerable risk.

As I just found out we can do 3D mapping stuff without having to buy an expensive phone with LIDAR I decided to try the app Luma. Impressive yet need to practice a bit more with making the video for the data.
