Study Shows Nuclear Winter Could Slash Corn Yield by Up to 87% and Outlines Seed Kit Plan

What happens if nuclear war strikes? Sun blocked, crops fail, famine unleashed

With nuclear war making it to geopolitical debates, a major new study warns that even a limited atomic conflict could trigger global food security and plunge the Earth into darkness for days

Nuclear war could starve world, wipe out 87% of global corn: Study

The team modeled how various nuclear winter scenarios could impact global production of corn, which is one of the most widely planted grain crops around the globe.

Nuclear winter will block sunlight, kill crops, starve the world

Researchers recently published findings that model the impacts of nuclear winter on corn, the world’s most widely grown grain.

Simulating the unthinkable: Models show nuclear winter food production plunge

A nuclear winter is a theoretical concept, but if the climate scenario expected to follow a large-scale nuclear war, in which smoke and soot from firestorms block sunlight, came to fruition, global temperatures would sharply drop, extinguishing most agriculture. A nuclear winter could last for more than a decade, potentially leading to widespread famine for those who survive the devastation of the bomb blasts.

What Happens to Our Food If the Bombs Drop?

If nuclear war erupts, the blast zone may not be the only place where lives are lost. According to new simulations from Penn State, a prolonged nuclear
