đ New research suggests more than half of global cropland areas could lose suitable crops under a warming scenario of 2C.
đ The study mapped how climate change could reshape areas suited for 30 major crops across four warming scenarios â from 1.5C to 4C.
đ Even at 1.5C, over half of the crops studied could see a decline in suitable cropland, with tropical regions hit hardest. In contrast, areas far from the equator could gain crop diversity â opening doors for climate adaptation.

More than half of global cropland areas could see a decline in the number of suitable crops under a warming scenario of 2C, new research finds.
The study, published in Nature Food, projects how climate change will modify the areas suited for growing 30 major crops under four scenarios, ranging from 1.5 to 4C of global warming.
