Dr. Wenjiao Shi's research focuses on global change and agricultural systems, with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture in the context of global change and the Anthropocene. Her work addresses three key scientific questions:

  How does agriculture respond to climate change?

How does agriculture impact resources and the environment?

 How can agricultural systems be optimized to adapt to climate change while mitigating resource depletion and environmental degradation?

These studies are of great significance in ensuring national food security, water security, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and promoting high-quality agricultural development. They are also closely linked to achieving several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 6 Clean Water and Public Health, and SDG 13 Climate Action.
