Projecting infection risk to wheat production
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of wheat. It’s one of the top food safety concerns associated with a changing climate in Europe because the infected grain contains toxins that are dangerous to humans and animals.
This study uses a range of data to project the future risk of this infection spreading. This makes it possible to test how robust our wheat production system is and look at adaptation strategies as our climate changes.
