Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via expert elicitation

A. Chrysafi, V. Virkki, et al.

This groundbreaking paper sheds light on the complex interactions among Earth system processes impacting food production. Through expert knowledge elicitation, the research reveals overlooked connections, particularly the influence of green water and land system changes. Conducted by a team of experts, it paves the way for enhanced Earth system modeling and defines biophysical limits for sustainable food production.
