It is one of the most important crops in the world.”
When evaluating possible unfavorable forecasts, NASA scientists took into account many factors:
“NASA researchers have calculated the expected rise in temperature on Earth, and also have not overlooked changes in precipitation and an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. (…) As forecasts show, especially in the tropics, it can become so hot that it can continue to grow crops will become impossible. According to forecasts of NASA, by 2030 the yield will decrease by almost a quarter. “
