There is irrefutable evidence climate change is making the planet warmer. However, the impact on agricultural production of grains and oilseeds is unclear. As the global climate has changed, global agricultural production has evolved in response. Doubt remains, however, on whether further advancements in agricultural production can continue to offset the adverse impacts of forecasted climate change. On the demand side, grains and vegetable oils are increasingly sought to reduce carbon emissions of motor fuels. This has shifted the demand curve outward, putting upward pressure on prices along the way. The future is clear: agricultural innovation will need to continue in order for the supply side to offset climate change, allowing food production to meet the demands of both the food and energy sectors.
