Recent evidence suggests anthropogenic climate change has already slowed global agricultural productivity growth. However, regional and country-level estimates remain imprecise. This presentation will focus on ongoing work seeking to quantify both the historical and the potential future impacts of anthropogenic climate change on US agricultural productivity. This research effort ultimately seeks to quantify the research and development (R&D) investments necessary to compensate or modulate the impacts of climate change on the sector.
