A framework for analyzing climate change impacts on agricultural value chain

In the 21^st century, global agriculture faces unprecedented challenges due to the complex interplay between climate change, crop dynamics, and economic factors. Frameworks that integrate climate, crops, and economics models have been instrumental in assessing these impacts. However, these frameworks have some limitations, such as neglecting critical value chain effects. This study aims to bridge this gap by introducing a unique climate-crop-value chain framework that considers the entire agricultural value chain, connecting climate science, agriculture science, and economics. By analyzing the agricultural value chain, this framework captures the interconnectedness and ripple effects of climate impacts beyond the affected crop. Improving modeling frameworks like this contributes to the ongoing dialogue on sustainable agricultural development, guiding future research and policy interventions to ensure global food security in a changing climate. Addressing gaps in understanding the economic consequences on the agricultural value chain is crucial for a more comprehensive and actionable approach to climate resilience in agriculture.
