  • Impact of urbanization trends on production of key staple crops

    Open AccessJosé F Andrade, Kenneth G Cassman et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022References: 26

    Urbanization has appropriated millions of hectares of cropland, and this trend will persist as cities continue to expand. We estimate the impact of this conversion as the amount of land needed elsewhere to give the same yield potential as determined by differences in climate and soil properties. Robust spatial upscaling techniques, well-validated crop simulation models, and soil, climate, and cropping system databases are employed with a focus on…

  • Benchmarking irrigation water use in producer fields in the US central Great Plains

    Open AccessKatherine E B Gibson, Justin Gibson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Efficient use of freshwater resources is necessary to balance food production and long-term sustainability of irrigated agricultural systems. Here we developed a framework to benchmark irrigation water use relative to crop yield for individual fields based on site-specific weather and soil. Subsequently, we used the framework to diagnose on-farm irrigation management, in relation to crop production, in maize and soybean producer fields in Nebrask…

  • Beyond the plot: Technology extrapolation domains for scaling out agronomic science

    Open AccessJuan I Rattalino Edreira, Kenneth G Cassman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Ensuring an adequate food supply in systems that protect environmental quality and conserve natural resources requires productive and resource-efficient cropping systems on existing farmland. Meeting this challenge will be difficult without a robust spatial framework that facilitates rapid evaluation and scaling-out of currently available and emerging technologies. Here we develop a global spatial framework to delineate 'technology extrapolation …

  • Rooting for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessNicolas Guilpart, Patricio Grassini et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    There is a persistent narrative about the potential of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to be a 'grain breadbasket' because of large gaps between current low yields and yield potential with good management, and vast land resources with adequate rainfall. However, rigorous evaluation of the extent to which soils can support high, stable yields has been limited by lack of data on rootable soil depth of sufficient quality and spatial resolution. Here we use…

  • Can sub-Saharan Africa feed itself?

    Open AccessMartin K Van Ittersum, L G J van Bussel et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2016

    Significance The question whether sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can be self-sufficient in cereals by 2050 is of global relevance. Currently, SSA is amongst the (sub)continents with the largest gap between cereal consumption and production, whereas its projected tripling demand between 2010 and 2050 is much greater than in other continents. We show that nearly complete closure of the gap between current farm yields and yield potential is needed to main…

  • Yield gap analysis with local to global relevance—A review

    Open AccessMartin K Van Ittersum, Kenneth G Cassman et al.ARTICLEField Crops Research2013

    Yields of crops must increase substantially over the coming decades to keep pace with global food demand driven by population and income growth. Ultimately global food production capacity will be limited by the amount of land and water resources available and suitable for crop production, and by biophysical limits on crop growth. Quantifying food production capacity on every hectare of current farmland in a consistent and transparent manner is ne…
