This is going to make many people furious. But a latest study claims that as scientific developments help us make agriculture give higher productivity per acre, it also means higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This ultimately means that higher farm yields contribute to climate change.
A latest study has concluded that increased farm production has increased the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Though they haven’t directly said that it is going to add to the climate change, but this is what they ultimately mean.
“This study shows the power of modeling and data mining in addressing potential sources contributing to seasonal changes in carbon dioxide. It points to the role of basic research in finding answers to complex problems” says Liz Blood of National Science Foundation.
