New data shows that crops like wheat, coffee, beans and cassava could lose half of the best land for growing them by 2100. Findings come from Food and Agriculture Organization’s upgraded Adaptation, Biodiversity and Carbon Mapping Tool “ABC-Map”. FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity fao.org/newsroom/detai…
