  • Future yield improvements will require a closer examination of specific production factors and their interactions. This study quantifies potassium (K) limitations in Indonesia’s intensive cereal cropping systems and reveals that current soil K levels and fertilizer applications are inadequate to meet crop needs, exacerbating the existing yield gap in rice–maize systems in Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia.

  • Increasing rice yield while improving resource use efficiency is of great importance. This study examines cropping systems globally to highlight areas where rice production can be improved by prioritizing R&D strategies.

  • Effective prioritizing of R&D investments in agriculture needs robust estimation of yield gaps for major cropping systems. Yield potential derived from the ‘top-down’ spatial frameworks is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and would benefit from incorporating estimates from ‘bottom-up’ spatial frameworks.

  • Food security and the conservation of natural ecosystems largely rely on the increase in crop yields. Here, the authors examine global crop yield trends since 1960, and establish a robust statistical framework for estimating historical trajectories and identifying yield plateaus.

  • Whether or not China can be rice self-sufficient in the future is in question. Here the authors provide a spatially explicit yield-gap analysis of Chinese rice production under future scenarios, identifying priority areas for improving yields to meet demands by 2030.

  • No-till agriculture is generally considered good for soils, and probably also beneficial in relation to climate change adaptation. However, this Perspective argues that the potential for climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration that is possible from a change to no-till agriculture has been widely overstated.

  • This Perspective argues for a global research prioritization framework to advance sustainable intensification, an increase in agricultural yields on existing land and respecting ecosystem integrity, noting research gaps and suggesting priorities.
