Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...
