As the world's population increases, it will put more pressure on food resources. That makes it more important than ever to have accurate weather predictions that can help increase productivity. As a result of such demand, the market is reacting by increasing the funding universities and research institutes receive, in hopes of addressing this issue. In doing so, it has increased our awareness of the fact that, up to this point, we have never really had accurate forecasts that range between several weeks to months, timeframes scientists call sub-seasonal to seasonal.
