Global Crop Yield Stagnation and Decline: A Growing Concern

Many global cropping areas have witnessed a decline or plateau in the trend of crop yield, reaching a point of stagnation or even collapse in the past few decades. This trend poses a significant challenge to global food security, particularly given the projected increase in global population. While various factors contribute to this phenomenon, including climate change, land degradation, and unsustainable agricultural practices, understanding the underlying causes and developing sustainable solutions is crucial to ensuring adequate food production for a growing population.
