Moreover, despite a steady growth in total factor productivity (TFP, “a ratio of agricultural outputs produced to inputs used“) since 1948 as a result of technological change, climate change has already dampened TFP, and it is expected to decline to pre-1980 levels by 2050 unless adaptation measures adequately respond.
