This chapter gives preliminary results of our study. The CERES-Barley and SPUR2 models were used to assess crop productivity. A sea level rise of 1.0 m was used to evaluate the responses of the physical a

Rapid geographical shifts in the agricultural land base could disrupt rural communities and their associated infrastructure. More research is called for to generate technologies that enable farmers to adapt to the effects of climate change.
