These impacts include changes in crop yields \u2013 which <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/growingreturns\/2014\/06\/30\/climate-change-a-risky-business-for-americas-agriculture\/\" target=\"_blank\">could drop 73 percent<\/a> in some states \u2013 and increases in food prices as a result of higher temperatures, heavier downpours, and more frequent and intense droughts.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the assessment found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Average U.S<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>temperatures have increased by 1.3 to 1.9\u00a0degrees Fahrenheit since record-keeping began in 1895. \u00a0Most of this warming has occurred since 1970.<\/li>\n<li>The U.S. will likely see more warming in the next few decades \u2013 possibly up to another four degrees Fahrenheit in some areas.<\/li>\n<li>The U.S. is seeing increasingly intense heat waves in the western portion of the country, and increasingly intense flooding in the eastern portion.<\/li>\n<li>Droughts in the Southwest and heat waves everywhere are projected to become more intense in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Climate change increases the likelihood of water shortages. The western U.S. relies heavily on mountain snowpack for water storage, and spring snowpack is declining in most of the West.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How does data help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Climate Data Initiative is designed to connect farmers, food distributors and agricultural businesses with the data, tools and information they need to understand how these impacts are going to affect their operations and, ultimately, their bottom lines.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4601\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4601\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/growingreturns\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/52\/files\/2014\/12\/ecoinforma.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4601 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/growingreturns\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/52\/files\/2014\/12\/ecoinforma-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"The EcoINFORMA map viewer available on data.gov\/ecosystems enables visualizations and mashups of spatial data related to ecosystems, natural resources and species\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/growingreturns\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/52\/files\/2014\/12\/ecoinforma-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/growingreturns\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/52\/files\/2014\/12\/ecoinforma.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The EcoINFORMA map viewer available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.data.gov\/ecosystems\/\" target=\"_blank\">data.gov\/ecosystems<\/a> enables visualizations and mashups of spatial data related to ecosystems, natural resources and species.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Data include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>USDA Census of Agriculture data on production expenses, market value of products and operator characteristics<\/li>\n<li>Current and historical data on production, supply and distribution of agricultural products<\/li>\n<li>Data on climate-change-related risks such as storms, pests and drought<\/li>\n<li>Climate models that project potential future climate impacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond government data, the President\u2019s initiative also calls private-sector innovators to leverage open government data and other resources to build additional tools that will make the U.S. and global food systems more resilient.
