Abstract
Sections 2 and 3 of this case study have considered the effects of climate on crop yields. There is, however, no simple relationship between yield and profitability — and yet it is profitability that ultimately determines which crops are grown, and where. In this section we consider the effect of changes in climate on yields of barley and oats in two regions of Finland, and go on to examine likely changes in the profitability of cultivating these crops.
