Which crops have the most potential in a changing climate?
The Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) is a global movement that aims to foster more resilient food systems by focusing on the fundamentals of food security: climate-adapted crops and healthy soils. The Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) is a global movement that aims to foster more resilient food systems by focusing on the fundamentals of food security: climate-adapted crops and healthy soils. Initially launched by the U.S. Department of State, the African Union, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, VACS seeks to boost agricultural productivity and nutrition by developing diverse, climate-resilient crop varieties and building healthy soils. VACS provides a unified investment framework for stakeholders to advance these goals. VACS is working with AgMIP to develop a models of future crop productivity that will help identify the most promising crops for a changing climate. This application visualizes initial results of these models. Keep reading.
