Contribution of irrigation to the production of maize, wheat, and rice in the major global producing countries
This study offers new insights into the heterogeneity behind the widely accepted notion that irrigated crops contribute 40% to global food production. It also highlights the potential of irrigation to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on crop yields.
