AI modeling forecasts 50% higher soybean output under climate stress trio, but lower seed nutrition

Researchers at the University of São Paulo used AI-driven predictive modeling to assess how the combined pressures of elevated CO₂, heat and drought could affect soybeans. The model projects bean output would rise 50%, while seed protein would drop 6% and starch would fall 20%. It also estimates amino acids would increase 175%. The projections were extrapolated from experimentally validated dual-stress data rather than direct tests of all three factors together, highlighting non-linear shifts in metabolic pathways.
