Study: Wheat harvest to decline with temperature increase
New research is shedding some light on future of the world’s wheat supply. According to a new global study led by a University of Florida scientist, for every degree Celsius that the temperature increases, the world loses 6 percent of its wheat crop.
Researcher Senthold Asseng, a UF professor of agricultural and biological engineering, said he used a computer model approach to reach the finding of temperature increases and wheat production.
