Across this diverse group of cropping systems, distinct adaptation options and adaptation limits have emerged . Some crop types have already seen widescale implementation of climate adaptation , while others show little evidence of preparation for climate change . Many adaptation responses are shared with the major crops, but prominent options such as plant breeding are underutilised and there is a lack of evidence for assessing adaptation for many crops .
