Impacts on global food trade networks

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines how climate change impacts on crop yields for wheat, rice, and maize may be transmitted across borders through global food trade networks between 2070 and 2099.

• The study utilizes a network model to analyze the long-term (2070–2099) effects of climate change on the trade networks of maize, rice, and wheat, focusing on the disruption of production concentration in trade communities, changes in countries' network positions, and the combined change in production and imports within those communities.
• Analysis indicates that the stability of food trade network structures varies by crop, with maize trade being the least stable when subjected to climate change impacts.
• The research suggests that global food security threats may be linked to production changes in a small number of major global producers and the ability of trade communities to offset production and import losses in vulnerable countries.
