The document summarizes an EPA report on the potential impacts of global warming on U.S. agriculture. The report finds that higher temperatures and carbon dioxide levels expected due to climate change will increase crop yields for many U.S. crops like soybeans, cotton, oranges, and sorghum. Specifically, the report predicts soybean and orange yields could increase by 23-40% and 13-120%, respectively. The EPA report also notes that farmers may need less water for irrigation but more pesticides under climate change. Overall, the impacts on U.S. agriculture are projected to be positive if rainfall levels remain adequate.
This document discusses social innovation and entrepreneurs. It notes that while social entrepreneurs aim to create social value, current systems have not fully adapted to support their work and scale can be a challenge. Emerging groups like hackers, makers and do-it-yourselfers are taking on social problems in grassroots ways. There is potential in crowd funding, government 2.0 champions, and new forms of civic engagement to support social innovators, but support systems still need to evolve to help social entrepreneurs scale their solutions.
