Can we feed everyone without our modern infrastructure and industry? Simulating potential yield with a generalized linear model in a loss of industry scenario
Abstract:<p>Modern civilization is highly dependent on industrial agriculture. Industrial agriculture in turn has become an increasingly complex and globally interconnected system whose historically unprecedented productivity relies strongly on external energy inputs in the shape of machinery, mineral fertilizers, and pesticides. It leaves the system vulnerable to disruptions of industrial production and international trade. Several scenarios have the potential to damage electrical infrastructure on a glo… Show more
