Climate-driven expansion of northern agriculture must consider permafrost

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 July 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01436-z

Northern expansion is often seen as a solution to climate-driven agricultural challenges in lower latitudes, yet little is known about cultivation–permafrost interactions. We outline four science-based adaptations, informed by farmer knowledge, that reduce risk and inform decisions to sustainably manage and develop permafrost-agroecosystems.
