Decisions regarding crop selection can have multiple effects on soil, water and energy use, with different crops requiring varying amounts of energy, water and soil nutrients. With rising temperatures due to climate change, specific areas throughout the world will require more water and experience lower crop yields. Crop decisions regarding growing energy, food or feed crops and choosing crops according to the region’s climates and inherent resource restrictions need to be considered to reduce their impact on these necessary resources.
