Matches and mismatches between the global distribution of major food crops and climate suitability.
Over the course of history, humans have moved crops from their regions of origin to new locations across the world. The social, cultural and economic drivers of these movements have generated differences not only between current distributions of crops and their climatic origins, but also between crop distributions and climate...Mahaut, Lucie ; Pironon, Samuel ; Barnagaud, Jean-Yves ; Bretagnolle, François ; Khoury, Colin K. …

The potential of CAM crops as a globally significant bioenergy resource: moving from ‘fuel or food’ to ‘fuel and more food’.
4–15% of the 2.5 bn ha of semi-arid land globally could generate 59 PW h year <sup>−1</sup> of electricity without reducing food production, enough to make a major difference to global GHG emissions. The key is anaerobic digestion of a class of understudied, under-developed and hyper-water-efficient plants that use the...Mason, P. Michael ; Glover, Katherine ; Smith, J.
