The risks associated with these events often have devastating consequences for agricultural production, farmer livelihoods and food security, and dangerous nitrogen losses to the environment. Understanding and quantifying the risk of crop failure is crucial for devising strategies to improve food security and livelihoods in the short term, as well as for de-risking investment decisions of farmers, food system actors and policymakers around the longer-term transformation of agri-food systems towards sustainability2. Although the agricultural modelling community has made considerable strides in appraising the impacts of mean climate changes, there has been much less success in developing methods to assess risks from extreme weather3. Prominent agricultural projections have caught the attention of policymakers and adaptation planners using the best available tools4, but improvement is needed to support agricultural and food system interventions. Here, we outline critical research gaps to be addressed for the agricultural modelling community to support building scientific knowledge on which agricultural risks can be managed.","PeriodicalId":19090,"journal":{"name":"Nature Food","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although reporting tends to focus on impacts in urban centres, rural areas often bear the bulk of the damage, with livelihoods, agricultural production and supply chains impacted. Moreover, the majority of people affected reside in low-income countries reliant on agriculture for food security2. As flood risk increases with climate change, more attention must be given to rural areas, as they are not only the most impacted, but they are also where solutions for mitigating flood risks are most likely to lie.Alongside the increasing frequency of floods caused by climate change, lack of flood control facilities in rural areas — namely, insufficient dams, barriers and drainage systems — contributes to intensified risk and losses. Lack of insurance in rural areas further aggravates these losses. In low-income countries, flood insurance in rural areas is practically non-existent. In middle-income countries, flood insurance may be present, but often only covers a fraction of the damages. While flood insurance in the USA can reach up to 70%, for example, China’s insurance has in some cases been shown to cover only about 2% of losses8. Moreover, at present and increasingly in the future, certain areas in even the most high-income countries will not be covered at all by flood insurance because of rising threats from climate change9.","PeriodicalId":19090,"journal":{"name":"Nature Food","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China's arable land under threat 中国的耕地受到威胁

In 2021 and 2022, inspections by China’s Ministry of Natural Resources uncovered 112 cases of illegal occupation of arable land, including unauthorized sand extraction, the illegal conversion of permanent basic farmland for aquaculture ponds, and the dumping of silt and gravel on arable land, all of which led to the degradation of soil conditions for cultivation4. These cases revealed weak enforcement and oversight by local governments and departmental leaders, whose lack of awareness or negligence facilitated illegal farmland occupation. Worse still, some local governments and departments have actively facilitated illegal farmland occupation for projects such as lake excavation, landscaping and afforestation. In Handan, Hebei Province, the Water Resources Bureau unlawfully occupied 330 ha, including 294 ha of permanent basic farmland, to construct a scenic park and greenbelt5. Similarly, the Xiangzhou District government in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, illegally used 107 ha of farmland, including 22.6 ha of permanent basic farmland, for afforestation5.Illegal occupation of arable land remains prevalent in rural China, with 76,173 ha being used for illegal purposes by the end of 2019, more than 10% of which involved basic farmland6. Urban expansion and economic growth are key drivers of farmland loss, as the profits from selling land or building houses on arable land often far exceed the returns from agricultural production, perpetuating illegal land use.","PeriodicalId":19090,"journal":{"name":"Nature Food","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
