Model‐based evaluation of climate change impacts on rice grain quality in the main European rice district

Abstract Crop simulation models are used to forecast the impacts of climate change on yield levels and to identify adaptation strategies. Nevertheless, crop quality has been almost neglected in available studies, despite its relevance on the economic and nutritional value of agricultural products. W...

Four general circulation models (NOResm, MIROC‐ESM, HadGEM2‐ES, and GISS‐ES) and two CO2 representative concentration pathways (2.6, 8.5) were used to generate 20‐year future climatic data centered on 2030 and 2070.

While the revenues of millers are expected to decrease of about 50 € t−1 in 2030 and 100 € t−1 in 2070 for Loto, minor changes are projected on Gladio milling and cooking suitability, except in the worst scenario in 2070 (−10 to −5% of cooking suitability, corresponding to −30 to −72 € t−1).
