From now on, fewer vegetables for you

Environmental changes such as increasing ambient temperature, ozone concentrations and decreasing water availability would decrease yields of leafy vegetables and legume, says a study. Previous research has shown a reduction in yield of staple crops such as rice and wheat because of changes in temperature, rainfall, but impacts on vegetables was largely unknown, the study says. The study included 174 research papers, reporting 1,540 experiments conducted in 40 countries, mainly in southern Europe, North America and South Asia during 1975 to 2016
