For decades, we’ve known that climate cycles like El Niño and La Niña can impact regional crop yields, and we can use these to help prepare for bountiful or meager harvests. But agro-climatologist Weston Anderson says we’re still struggling to integrate this knowledge into decisions about farming, and in a world in which the food system is increasingly global, we haven’t done a great job of thinking at a planetary scale.
UnDisciplined: Why aren't we using climate phases to predict crop yields?
