on the crop.

on crop growth, and fossil fuels are used heavily to make modern fertilizer.
Unfortunately, most of the soybeans now grown are «roundup ready» and the high levels of roundup sprayed
on the crop greatly diminishes the amount of bacterial nitrogen fixation.
Based on many studies covering a wide range of regions and crops, negative impacts of climate change
on crop yields have been more common than positive impacts (high confidence)... Since AR4, several periods of rapid food and cereal price increases following climate extremes in key producing regions indicate a sensitivity of current markets to climate extremes among other factors (medium confidence).
