Featured From yield impacts to just transformation of food systems Food security remains a major global challenge, which is only amplified by ongoing climate change. Here, I look back on a 2015 paper on climate change impacts on wheat and discuss subsequent research on agriculture and food security. Latest Research and Reviews Direct electrochemical appraisal of black coffee quality using cyclic voltammetry Coffee flavor is primarily determined by the bean roast color and concentration of the beverage. Here, the authors show that both of these characteristics are reflected in the coffee’s cyclic voltammogram. This approach enables rapid determination of the strength and roast intensity of the coffee. Robin E. BumbaughDoran L. PenningtonChristopher H. Hendon Plasticity of source-sink dynamics contributes to wheat yield stability Improving winter wheat adaptation to climate change is a critical challenge. This study suggests that improving source–sink plasticity and optimizing stage-specific sensitivity to short-term temperature fluctuations are key strategies for crop resilience.
