High-yield food production is concentrated today in certain geographical areas, so-called "breadbaskets". But what will happen to these areas in a warmer climate? To secure food production during climate change, adapted strategies may be needed. If global warming continues, food producers may need to adapt to changing conditions. Researchers try to predict different scenarios with important crops
