flag Study urges U.S. to boost farm research funding by 5-8% yearly to fight climate change impacts.

flag A new study calls for a significant increase in US public sector investment in agricultural research to combat climate change's impact on farming. flag Researchers suggest a 5% to 8% annual growth in R&D funding, or a fixed $2.2 to $3.8 billion yearly, to maintain productivity through 2050. flag Current investment is about $5 billion annually, growing only 0.5% per year since 1970. flag Without increased funding, the US could see lower productivity and increased environmental strain.
