An analysis of crop choice: Adapting to climate change in South American farms ☆
S. Niggol Seo,Robert Mendelsohn +1 more
TLDR
This paper developed a multinomial logit model of farmer's choice of crops and found that both temperature and precipitation affect the crops that South American farmers choose, and that farmers in wetter locations are more likely to grow rice, fruits, potatoes, and squash and in dryer locations maize and wheat.About:

The Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture in Developing Countries
TL;DR: The largest known economic impact of climate change on agriculture is upon agriculture because of the size and sensitivity of the sector as mentioned in this paper, and it is the case that many farms in the low latitudes already endure climates that are too hot.

The impact of climate change on China's agriculture.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature and precipitation on net crop revenues were analyzed using cross-sectional data consisting of both rainfed and irrigated farms, and the results suggest that global warming is likely to be harmful to rainfed farms but beneficial to irrigated ones.

How Can African Agriculture Adapt to Climate Change?: A Counterfactual Analysis from Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of different adaptation strategies on crop net revenues in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia was analyzed and the authors found that adaptation to climate change based upon a portfolio of strategies significantly increases farm net revenues.

Improvements in crop water productivity increase water sustainability and food security—a global analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined global patterns of water productivity and found that 40% of water consumption goes to production of just 20% of food calories on precipitation-limited croplands.

Understanding farmers’ adaptation intention to climate change: A structural equation modelling study in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
TL;DR: In this article, the adaptation intention of rice farmers in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam was investigated using structural equation modeling and protection motivation theory, and the authors found that farmers are more likely to have an adaptation intention when they perceive higher risks of climate change and greater effectiveness of adaptive measures.
