    AbstractShow full text abstract about Climate change is having an impact on agricultural productio...»
    Climate change is having an impact on agricultural production and food
    security. Rising temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns and extreme
    weather events can reduce crop yields, sometimes dramatically. However,
    climate change can also offer new opportunities, by generating more
    favorable climatic conditions for agricultural production in certain regions
    that were previously less productive. In order to assess the positive and
    negative impacts of climate change on agriculture and identify effective
    adaptation strategies, scientists have produced massive amounts of data
    during the last two decades, conducting local experiments in agricultural
    plots and using models to simulate the effect of climate on crop yields. In
    most cases, these data are not pooled together and are analyzed separately
    by different groups of scientists to assess the effects of climate change at a
    local level, without any attempt to upscale the results at a larger scale. Yet, if
    brought together, these data represent a rich source of information that are
    relevant to analyze the effect of climate across diverse environmental
    conditions. The wealth of data available has led to the emergence of a new
    type of scientific activity, involving the retrieval of all available data on a
    given subject and their synthesis into more robust and generic results. In this
    talk, I review the statistical methods available to synthesize data generated
    in studies quantifying the effect of climate change on agriculture. I discuss
    both the most classic methods - such as meta-analysis - and more recent
    methods based on machine learning. In particular, I show how this approach
    can be used to map the impact of climate change on a large scale (national,
    continental and global) from local data. I illustrate these methods in several
    case studies and present several research perspectives in this area.
