Hotter, drier growing seasons have slashed global yields of wheat, barley, and maize by 4–13%, according to a Stanford study. Climate models underestimated the severity of air dryness in temperate zones like Europe and China, worsening crop stress. The study highlights how model flaws have hurt efforts to adapt, such as extending growing seasons. While U.S. farms saw less warming than expected, the findings stress the need for smarter adaptation and more accurate climate modeling.
