Climate intervention technologies may create winners and losers in world food supply

Simone Tilmes contributes to Nature Food paper

A technology being studied to curb climate change - one that could be put in place in one or two decades if work on the technology began now - would affect food productivity in parts of Earth in dramatically different ways, benefiting some areas, and adversely affecting others, according to projections prepared by a Rutgers-led team of scientists. ACOM scientist Simone Tilmes is a co-author on the published paper. (Press release by Phys.org on October 5, 2023)
