They are a temperate-climate crop, sensitive to temperature changes and requiring four distinct seasons.
Or nitrogen emissions (more exactly, NOx) from the use of artificial fertilisers contribute to climate change which will reduce crop yields.
FORBES: The Climate Vulnerable Forum Report: Really Not Very Good At All
On top of that, there was a vogue for research into climate change, rather than increasing crop production.
Meanwhile, the recent Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change states that "declining crop yields ... could leave hundreds of millions without the ability to produce or purchase sufficient food", reports The Food Magazine.
Weather causes, possibly fueled by overall climate change, have led to lower crop yields.
Crop and livestock production are adapting to and will adapt to climate change.

This should come as no surprise, as crop plants from the temperate zone have been transplanted to soils and climate that are unsuitable.
The coffee giant intends to use the farm to help coffee farming communities around the world mitigate climate change impacts, and to support long-term crop stability on a warming planet.
FORBES: Pathological Collaboration: Cure for the Java Jitters?
The study simulated changes in agricultural yields as a result of changing precipitation and temperature patterns, finding that crop yields may increase under the higher temperature and precipitation under many climate-change scenarios in this region.
The Royal Society also said that climate change is likely to increase the scale of the "challenge" ahead, by decreasing crop yields in most parts of the world.
Cary Fowler of the Global Crop Diversity Trust laid out a compelling case to do more to protect endangered food species in advent of climate change, especially in South Asia, where the environment is anticipated to be most fragile.
