Talk:Multiple breadbasket failure

Article is too reliant on McKinsey and certain primary sources

Hi User:Noble Attempt, thanks for starting this article! It is great to see an passionate editor who is comfortable with the main principles and features of Wikipedia helping out the Climate Change WikiProject - we really don't get enough participants considering the mammoth scope of our task.

At the same time, I would say that this article appears too focused on a single McKinsey report. Remember, a for-profit consulting agency is not exactly an optimal source for a Wikipedia article. Peer-reviewed papers are a better reference; peer-reviewed review articles and meta-analyses are better still, especially if published in a high-grade journal. For most climate change articles, the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report is currently the closest to a gold-standard reference there is. I know it is a very large and daunting reading, but using the Ctrl-F search for "breadbasket failure" would help speed up this task considerably. It would also help to reveal which primary references you have used are more important than others - and which ones might be contradicted by the research you have not encountered.

I'll try to find the time to contribute to this article in the near future, but in the meantime, I wanted to explain why I think this article currently deserves the NPOV tag, and what would be needed to remove it. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 15:40, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
