Projected impacts of climate change on rainfed cereal production potential - Change in 2050 from 1961 - 1990 baseline

The map presents impacts of climate change on rainfed cereal production potential in cultivated land (1992-1993) as well as for all land with production potential for rainfed cereals, based on the projected climatic conditions for each country averaged from three Global Climate Models (ECHAM4, HADCM2, CGCM1).

For detailed documentation see: IIASA/FAO "Global Agro-ecological Assessment for Agriculture in the 21st Century: methodology and Results", March 2002,  pages 103-107 and 67-71. The values are percentage change in 2050s compared to 1961-90 baseline (value 2050s/value 1961-90)*100).
