Crop modelling for integrated assessment of risk to food production from climate change (2015, background): “Globally, there is unequivocal evidence that recent decades have experienced record high temperatures (e.g. IPCC, 2007; Stocker et al., 2013) and mounting evidence that extreme events are occurring more frequently than they did during most of the 20th century (Alexander et al., 2006; Trenberth,…”
Temporal dynamics of blue and green virtual water trade networks (2012, background): “Even though we only consider 58 commodities in this analysis, these are the staple food commodities that account for over 60% of global calorie consumption [FAOSTAT, 2011] and embody the dominant virtual water flows [Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; Hanjra and Qureshi, 2010].”
The Future Challenges of Food and Agriculture: An Integrated Analysis of Trends and Solutions (2019, background): “availability will cause challenges when the non-agriculture competition over water increases, which in turn might also bring inequalities regarding the access to water, perpetuating poverty [10].”
LAND RESOURCES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN: STATUS, PRESSURES, TRENDS AND IMPACTS ON FUTURE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT (2014, background): “In arid and semi-arid zones, irrigation has contributed to improved agricultural yields, stabilised food production, improved prices, increased farmers’ income and improved the economic welfare of rural populations (Hanjra and Qureshi, 2010).”
Drivers of the virtual water trade (2014, background): “[3] International trade of food is considered vital for the food security of many countries [Hanjra and Qureshi, 2010] but it has implications on world water resources.”
An international comparison of rice consumption behaviours and greenhouse gas emissions from rice production (2018, background): “In Australia, irrigated barley, chickpea, wheat and rice cropping produce about 2.5 tCO2e/ ha, 2.6 tCO2e/ha, 2.8 tCO2e/ha and 1.7 tCO2e/ha of GHGs, respectively, simply from: (1) on-farm fuel and electricity usage; (2) production, packaging, storage and transportation of agrochemicals (fertilisers, ”
Systems integration for global sustainability (2015, background): “dioxide (CO2) will alter global climate and affect other human and natural systems—a trade-off that current policies have not adequately addressed (2).”
Deconstructing and unpacking scientific controversies in intensification and sustainability: why the tensions in concepts and values? (2014, background): “, phosphorus [13]; water [14]; energy [15] and the loss of agro-biodiversity [16 ]), questioning the sustainability of current trajectories [17 ].”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “deal with the water scarcity and food security issues caused by climate change (Hanjra and Qureshi, 2010; Tejero et al., 2011).”
