Solar Geoengineering can Mitigate Effects of Global Warming on Rainfed Crops Written by AZoCleantechMay 21 2021 Solar geoengineering, which means releasing aerosols into the air to reflect solar light and cut down global warming, is not a complete solution for climate change but it might be one of many tools to control climate risks.

However, not much less is known about the potential effect of solar geoengineering on the ecosystem and, specifically, agriculture. A study performed by the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has now discovered that solar geoengineering could be amazingly effective in mitigating some of the worst effects of global warming on crops.
