There is an especially big opportunity in tropical Africa, where large areas are suitable for growing breadfruit trees and will remain so until at least the end of the century. Breadfruit is a bit like a potato that grows on a tree, says Lucy at Northwestern University. The fruit can be cooked in many ways and also turned into flour. They are highly productive and extremely nutritious. In addition, once a tree is established it is quite strong. Lucy and Daniel worked with Nyree at Chicago Botanic Garden to look at where in the tropics breadfruit grows now and to identify the climatic conditions planting trees require. Next, they used climate models to see where breadfruit could still grow between 2060 and 2080. They found that the crop will be relatively unaffected, with the overall suitable area reducing by just 4 percent globally. “Areas today that grow breadfruit will continue to be able to grow breadfruit, although yields may decrease.” says Daniel. This is significant because some studies suggest that yields of staple crops such as rice could be hard hit by rising temperatures and more extreme weather. There are expected to be many more food shocks like that of 2010, when Russia stopped exporting wheat after a heatwave decreased yields dramatically. 高二英语 第 1 页 (共 8 页) The team’s finding also revealed a big opportunity in tropical Africa, where only a little breadfruit is currently grown. “T
