TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a country-by-country, bottom-up approach to establish statistical estimates of actual grain yield, and compare these to modelled estimates of potential yields for either irrigated or rainfed conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the interrelations between farms and farming systems in the global food system and highlight trends in major regions of the world and explore possible trajectories for the future and ask: Who are the farmers of the future?
Journal ArticleDOI
Explaining rice yields and yield gaps in Central Luzon, Philippines: An application of stochastic frontier analysis and crop modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors decompose the yield gap into efficiency, resource and technology yield gaps for irrigated lowland rice-based farming systems in Central Luzon, Philippines, and to explain those yield gaps using data related to crop management, biophysical constraints and available technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of yield gap explaining factors and opportunities for alternative data collection approaches
TL;DR: In this article, a review of yield gap studies (50 agronomic-based peer-reviewed articles) was performed to identify the most commonly considered and explaining factors of the yield gap.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the existing literature to assess the methods used to estimate rice yield gaps at a local scale and to summarize the yield gaps estimated in those studies, identify practical methods of analysis that provides realistic estimates of exploitable rice yield gap, and provide recommendations for future studies on rice yields that will allow accurate interpretation of available data at local level.
