The collaborative work of scientists led to the Green Revolution, which prevented famines and greatly increased food production. However, those massive gains are now slowing, and the farming methods involved pollute the environment and contribute to climate change. Rice produces more emissions than wheat, and its production is reaching a plateau. However, it is also possible that as climate change impacts intensify, yields may actually increase for some time, especially for wheat. The new challenge is to produce more food while reducing the negative effects and to do so in a way that can also take advantage of any positive trends. The solution is not a single miracle fix but many tailored approaches. Success stories from Cambodia with rice and from Europe with wheat prove that yields and emissions can be balanced, and production can rise despite climate change. Adopting these practices takes time, local experimentation, and international collaboration, making it crucial to start as early as possible.
