Key Points

• Crop yield is expected to decrease due to climate change, posing a risk to food security.
• The SUBSTOR-Potato model forecasts that yields may drop by up to 30% under projected climate scenarios.
• Assessment using the SUBSTOR-Potato model evaluates various climate conditions and their effects.
• Such implications highlight the urgent need for adaptive strategies in agriculture to combat climate impacts.
