Abstract: Increasing volatility in food markets and the rising incidence of climatic extremes could lead to more frequent spikes in food prices. A global assessment of the reliability of crop simulations in reproducing past failures in major crop types suggests that seasonal forecasts can be useful for monitoring global food production.
