A new synthesis of the latest climate science, led by Mat Collins of University of Exeter, presents expected changes this century to precipitation, storms, heatwaves, and extreme events from the equator to the poles—and the impact on infrastructure, public health, and food security. The authors call for deeper assessments of regional climate risks and vulnerability, to better inform climate policy and adaptation measures by governments, citizens, and businesses.

What is vertical farming? Vertical farming involves cultivating crops inside, in stacked layers and under tightly controlled conditions for light, temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. Read our short explainer on this innovative farming system, and how it can be optimized by continually altering growing conditions: fro.ntiers.in/DuAX Silvère Vialet-Chabrand, Nik Woning, Samikshya Shrestha, Jordan Van Brenk, MSc., Margarethe Karpe, Yongran Ji, Ana Cristina Zepeda Cabrera, Katharina Huntenburg, and Julian Verdonk of Horticulture and Product Physiology - Wageningen University and Research Kevin Folta of University of Florida University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Hendrik Poorter of Forschungszentrum Jülich and Macquarie University Paul PG Gauthier of The University of Queensland Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) Sarah Courbier of The University of Freiburg Gail Taylor of University of California, Davis

Recent climate projections indicate how climate change will impact different regions. This figure, for example, shows projected precipitation changes in mid-latitude areas: green indicates more rainfall than currently, and brown indicates less. This kind of regional information is vital for climate adaptation planning by communities and policy makers, and for monitoring the effects of mitigation strategies.

🌍 Understanding Regional Climate Change is Key to Shaping Effective Adaptation Policies A recent study published by Frontiers indicates that understanding regional climate data is key in guiding the delivering of effective climate adaptation policies . The research reveals intensified monsoons, changing storm tracks, and shifts in polar precipitation patterns. These findings highlight the urgent need for region-specific climate data to guide informed adaptation policies that can effectively protect communities from increasing climate-related risks. The study was co-authored by scientists from around the world including @emilyshuckburgh. #ClimateChange #ClimateAdaptation #Policy #Sustainability #ClimateData #RegionalImpact #ClimateResilience Access it here: https://bit.ly/3Y5DsCg

Adjusting environmental factors over time could help optimize the resource efficiency of vertical farming systems. For example, a novel model of photosynthesis shows that varying light intensity according to electricity prices could reduce lighting costs by 12%, without affecting plant growth. Tests on basil—shown in this figure— as well as pak choi and other leafy greens confirmed that this strategy did not affect yield.
