Although it has been shown that global economic integration continues to strengthen our resilience to smaller shocks through trade adjustments, the current network structure and functional relations create higher vulnerabilities to so-called systemic risks. 4 Because those regions include important areas of crop production, such teleconnections have the potential to cause multiple, simultaneous breadbasket failures, posing a risk to global food security. ./cache/cord-269821-j4w084u2.txt ./txt/cord-269821-j4w084u2.txt
