Chinese farmers adapt to climate change by shifting crops and irrigation practices.
Chinese farmers adapt to climate change by choosing different crops and irrigation methods based on temperature and precipitation levels. Warmer regions prefer oil crops, maize, cotton, and wheat, while wetter areas opt for soybeans, oil crops, sugar, and rice. Future climate changes will likely lead to a shift towards oil crops, wheat, and cotton, and away from potatoes, rice, vegetables, and soybeans. Adaptation strategies will vary by region, emphasizing the importance of considering location-specific changes in agricultural practices.
