More CO₂ = More Food (Part 2)

Last month was the first installment of a new series of newsletters on the huge increases in crop productivity over the last half-century and more.

Research has shown that, in addition to increased plant growth, more CO₂ helps plants resist drought, extreme heat, pollution and other environmental stresses.

The CO₂ Coalition's most recent publication Nutritive Value of Plants Growing in Enhanced CO2 Concentrations (eCO2), is a comprehensive examination of the recent claims of declining nutritive values of crops.

In this paper we explain why the nutritional value of our more abundant crops can and will remain high as atmospheric CO₂ concentrations increase toward values more representative of those existing throughout most of Earth’s history.

Read the full report here. Please take a few minutes to look at our recent video CO2 and Food Abundance.
