  • Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits

    Open AccessMichalis Hadjikakou, Nicholas Bowles et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2025

  • HarvestStat

    Open AccessKeith F Davis, Weston Anderson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Agricultural production statistics underpin diverse research efforts and development activities. Yet despite their critical importance, efforts to collate, update, and harmonize detailed sub-national agricultural production statistics are frequently redundant and incomplete due to the substantial time, effort, and resources required. The persisting lack of coordination and standards in the food systems data community wastes valuable resources and…

  • Focus on the future of water-limited agricultural landscapes

    Open AccessCaitlin A Peterson, Keith F Davis et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Water scarcity and related climate volatility are growing constraints on agricultural production landscapes around the world. While the adaptation options available are often dictated by system context, in many places broad-scale transformations are occurring in response to water-related pressures. We sought contributions from across regions, agricultural system types, and scientific disciplines to examine agricultural land use transitions driven…

  • El Niño and positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions simultaneously reduce the production of multiple cereals across India

    Open AccessMadhulika Gurazada, Sonali McDermid et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Natural climate phenomena like El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) influence the Indian monsoon and thereby the region’s agricultural systems. Understanding their influence can provide seasonal predictability of agricultural production metrics to inform decision-making and mitigate potential food security challenges. Here, we analyze the effects of ENSO and IOD on four agricultural production metrics (production,…

  • Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits

    Michalis Hadjikakou, Nicholas Bowles et al.PREPRINT2023

    Transforming the global food system is essential to avoid exceeding Earth’s environmental limits. A robust evidence base is crucial to assess the scale and combination of interventions required for a sustainable transformation. We developed a risk assessment framework, underpinned by an evidence synthesis of global food system modeling studies, to quantify the potential of individual and combined interventions to mitigate the risk of exceeding gl…

  • Transnational agricultural land acquisitions threaten biodiversity in the Global South

    Open AccessKeith F Davis, Marc F Müller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Agricultural large-scale land acquisitions have been linked with enhanced deforestation and land use change. Yet the extent to which transnational agricultural large-scale land acquisitions (TALSLAs) contribute to—or merely correlate with—deforestation, and the expected biodiversity impacts of the intended land use changes across ecosystems, remains unclear. We examine 178 georeferenced TALSLA locations in 40 countries to address this gap. While …

  • Large‐scale land acquisition as a potential driver of slope instability

    Open AccessDavide Danilo Chiarelli, Paolo D’odorico et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Recently, vast tracts of land have been acquired by foreign and domestic–foreign partnerships to satisfy an increasing demand for agricultural products, often resulting in the conversion of forested landscapes into agricultural fields. Those conversions often occur in areas characterized by high slope angles with the potential to cause mass wasting and shallow landslides. An interesting case‐study is the Licungo basin in Mozambique, where from 20…

  • Quantitative assessment of agricultural sustainability reveals divergent priorities among nations

    Open AccessXin Zhang, Guolin Yao et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2021

    Agriculture is fundamental to all three pillars of sustainability, environment, society, and economy. However, the definition of sustainable agriculture and capacities to measure it remain elusive. Independent and transparent measurements of national sustainability are needed to gauge progress, encourage accountability, and inform policy. Here, we developed a Sustainable Agriculture Matrix (SAM) to quantify national performance indicators in agri…

  • A systems lens to evaluate the compound human health impacts of anthropogenic activities

    Open AccessDeepti Singh, Alexandra Karambelas et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2021

  • Accounting for re-exports substantially reduces China’s virtual water demand through agricultural trade

    Open AccessTariq Ali, Wei Xie et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Traditional methods of assessing virtual water (VW) trade usually overestimate the foreign VW used by a country as the imported VW can also be re-exported and used by the countries other than the initial importer. Due to its ability to provide better estimates of transboundary resource use, the global value chain (GVC) method can provide more precise guidelines for the global policy debate over sustainable resource use. Here, we use GVC analysis …

  • Culturally appropriate shifts in staple grain consumption can improve multiple sustainability outcomes

    Open AccessDongyang Wei, Keith F DavisARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Diets exercise great influence over both human and environmental health. While numerous efforts have sought to define and identify sustainable diets, there remains a poor understanding of the extent to which such shifts are feasible when taking into account local dietary preferences. Accounting for 40% of dietary calories and 46% of global cropland, cereals offer an important food group by which culturally appropriate dietary shifts may achieve l…

  • Reducing water scarcity by improving water productivity in the United States

    Open AccessLandon Marston, Gambhir Lamsal et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Nearly one-sixth of U.S. river basins are unable to consistently meet societal water demands while also providing sufficient water for the environment. Water scarcity is expected to intensify and spread as populations increase, new water demands emerge, and climate changes. Improving water productivity by meeting realistic benchmarks for all water users could allow U.S. communities to expand economic activity and improve environmental flows. Here…

  • Sensitivity of grain yields to historical climate variability in India

    Open AccessKeith F Davis, Ashwini Chhatre et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Fluctuations in temperature and precipitation influence crop productivity across the planet. With episodes of extreme climate becoming increasingly frequent, buffering crop production against these stresses is a critical aspect of climate adaptation. In India, where grain production and diets are closely linked, national food supply is sensitive to the effect of climate variability on monsoon grain production. Here we quantitatively examine the h…

    Water availability is a major factor constraining humanity's ability to meet the future food and energy needs of a growing and increasingly affluent human population. Water plays an important role in the production of energy, including renewable energy sources and the extraction of unconventional fossil fuels that are expected to become important players in future energy security. The emergent competition for water between the food and energy sys…

  • A universal model for predicting human migration under climate change

    Open AccessKeith F Davis, Abinash Bhattachan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Climate change is expected to impact the habitability of many places around the world in significant and unprecedented ways in the coming decades. While previous studies have provided estimates of populations potentially exposed to various climate impacts, little work has been done to assess the number of people that may actually be displaced or where they will choose to go. Here we modify a diffusion-based model of human mobility in combination …

  • Closing the yield gap while ensuring water sustainability

    Open AccessLorenzo Rosa, Maria Cristina Rulli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Water is a major factor limiting crop production in many regions around the world. Irrigation can greatly enhance crop yields, but the local availability and timing of freshwater resources constrains the ability of humanity to increase food production. Innovations in irrigation infrastructure have allowed humanity to utilize previously inaccessible water resources, enhancing water withdrawals for agriculture while increasing pressure on environme…
