Agricultural Resources and Environmental Indicators: Impacts of Rising Concentrations of Greenhouse Gases
By Roy Darwin
Agriculture Handbook No. (AH722) ,
October 2003
Due to climatic and other consequences, rising greenhouse gas concentrations affect agricultural and ecological resources worldwide. Some areas incur benefits, while other areas suffer losses. The precise location and magnitude of such changes is highly uncertain. The extent to which losses are avoided and gains obtained will depend on how farmers adapt their production processes to new climatic and other conditions.
