Impacts on global food trade networks

The research analyzes how climate-induced crop yield changes between 2070 and 2099 may disrupt global food trade networks for wheat, rice, and maize. Using a network model, the study finds that maize trade is the least stable of the three crops and suggests that global food security will depend on production changes in major producers and the ability of trade communities to balance losses in vulnerable countries.

• The stability of food trade network structures under climate change impacts varies by crop, with maize trade being the least stable.
• Global food security threats may be driven by production changes in a small number of major global producers and the capacity of trade communities to offset production and import losses in vulnerable nations.
