Although about 6,000 plant species can be used for food, less than 200 varieties are widely eaten, and only nine make up most of the world's total crop production, the FAO said in the first report of its kind to assess biodiversity in food systems.

While not all of these crops are solely reliant on animal pollination (some can take advantage of wind-pollination, for instance), the scientists involved with the report estimate that between 5 and 8 percent of all crop production is directly attributed to animal pollination.

A 2015 study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that between 2008 and 2012, more than 7 million acres of grassland and other uncultivated areas in the United States were converted to crop production, an area larger than the state of Massachusetts.

As crop production has tripled since 1970, and logging increased by 45%, land degradation has now reduced productivity in 23% of tilled lands, "indicating that gains... are often not sustainable," while "annual global crop output is at risk as a result of pollinator loss," according to the UN report.

There's no easy solution to the climate change question, but some researchers see hope in stalling this decrease in livestock production associated with this increase in temps by carefully breeding for animals best adapted to the heat, as well as diversifying livestock and crop production on individual farms.

In fact, the notion that finding ways to replenish the microbiome of plants could increase crop yields was endorsed by the American Society for Microbiology back in December of 2012: Theoretically, if that gap could be closed — if all farmers could achieve the highest attainable yield — worldwide crop production would rise by 45-70%.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - (The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a market analyst for Reuters.) The U.S. corn and soybean crops are in the worst condition since 2012, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture should still push new-crop production higher in its supply and demand report due at noon EDT on Wednesday.

THUMP dug into the data, and it turns out that of the five states that had Random Access Memory in their favorite vinyl albums of 2016, four of them—Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri—are among the top ten corn-producing states in the country according to the USDA's most report figures on crop production in the US. The other state that loved RAM the most is New Mexico, which has barely anything to do with corn.
