TLDR
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.About:

Assessing planetary and regional nitrogen boundaries related to food security and adverse environmental impacts
TL;DR: In this paper, a planetary N boundary should include both the benefits and adverse impacts of reactive N (Nr) and the spatial variability of Nr impacts, considering the need to avoid adverse impacts from elevated Nr emissions to water, air and soils, and to feed the world population in an adequate way.

Yield trends, variability and stagnation analysis of major crops in France over more than a century.
Bernhard Schauberger,Tamara Ben-Ari,David Makowski,Tomomichi Kato,Hiromi Kato,Philippe Ciais +5 more
TL;DR: This work dissects the evolution of yield trends over time and space, analyse yield variation and evaluate whether growth of yields has stalled in recent years, finding that reaching yield potentials is unlikely as a cause for stagnation.

Large genetic yield potential and genetic yield gap estimated for wheat in Europe.
TL;DR: Despite intensive wheat breeding efforts, current local cultivars were found to be far from their optimum, meaning that a large genetic yield gap still exists in European wheat, and closing this unexploited geneticield gap in Europe through crop improvements and genetic adaptations could contribute towards global food security.

TL;DR: The study of the effects of foliarly applied ZnO nanoparticles on Setaria italica L. foxtail millet’s quantitative, nutritional, and physiological parameters highlights that the slow-releasing nano-fertilizer improves plant physiological properties and various grain nutritional parameters, and its application is therefore especially beneficial for progressive nanomaterial-based industries.

Pasquale Garofalo,Domenico Ventrella,Kurt Christian Kersebaum,Anne Gobin,Miroslav Trnka,Luisa Giglio,Martin Dubrovský,Mirko Castellini +7 more
TL;DR: The result indicated that current wheat production and its water footprint could become more favourable under climate change.

Global food demand and the sustainable intensification of agriculture
TL;DR: Per capita demand for crops, when measured as caloric or protein content of all crops combined, has been a similarly increasing function of per capita real income since 1960 and forecasts a 100–110% increase in global crop demand from 2005 to 2050.

World agriculture towards 2030/2050: the 2012 revision
TL;DR: In this paper, a re-make of the Interim Report World Agriculture: towards 2030/2050 (FAO, 2006) is presented, which includes a Chapter 4 on production factors (land, water, yields, fertilizers).

Closing yield gaps through nutrient and water management
Nathaniel D. Mueller,James S. Gerber,M. Johnston,Deepak K. Ray,Navin Ramankutty,Jonathan A. Foley +5 more
TL;DR: A global-scale assessment of intensification prospects from closing ‘yield gaps’, the spatial patterns of agricultural management practices and yield limitation, and the management changes that may be necessary to achieve increased yields finds that global yield variability is heavily controlled by fertilizer use, irrigation and climate.

Global land use change, economic globalization, and the looming land scarcity
Eric F. Lambin,Patrick Meyfroidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the displacement, rebound, cascade, and remittance effects that are amplified by economic globalization accelerate land conversion, and that sound policies and innovations can reconcile forest preservation with food production.

Consequences of climate change for European agricultural productivity, land use and policy
Jørgen E. Olesen,Marco Bindi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the knowledge on effects of climate change on agricultural productivity in Europe and the consequences for policy and research is reviewed, and a need to consider the multifunctional role of agriculture, and to strike a variable balance between economic, environmental and social functions in different European regions.
