URBANA, Ill. - Agricultural producers deal firsthand with changing weather conditions, and extreme events such as drought or flooding can impact their productivity and profit. Climate change models project such events will occur more often in the future. But studies of the economic consequences of weather and climate on agriculture typically focus on local impacts only.
A new study from the University of Illinois looks at how changes in weather - including extreme events - may decrease crop profit in one state while increasing profits in other states. The secret ingredient: U.S. interstate trade. It is expected to mitigate the economic impact of climate change by up to $14.5 billion by the middle of the century.

Colombia might be the world’s third-largest coffee producer, but the climate crisis is causing new challenges for its growers.
In a new study, scientists have used models to predict how climate change will affect coffee growers in the South American country from 2042 to 2061. It shows that regions which rely on the crop for their livelihoods could experience the “important implications” of global warming in coming decades.
Coffee plants are incredibly sensitive to unpredictable weather. This affects both the quantity and quality of beans that can be produced, according to World Coffee Research.
Due to rising temperatures, areas of Colombia that are currently prime coffee growing locations could soon be too hot and dry for these plants to survive. Those that now produce marginal amounts of beans may in the future see an increase in production.
