description = {{ Climate change will affect agricultural production worldwide. This will be driven largely by warmer mean and extreme temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Projections of crop yields include regions of losses and gains. Projections for wheat yields show distinct geographic gradients with losses in spring wheat regions in Mexico, North America, South America, and South Asia, and sizable wheat yield gains in the North China Plains, Australia, Central Asia, and Canada. }}
