This paper investigates how the concentration of farmland mediates the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity, with direct implications on resilience to heatwaves. We use a unique combination of French cadastral data and satellite imagery to demonstrate that more unequally distributed land entail greater losses during and after climatic shocks, primarily due to a lack of crop diversity resulting from specialisation. Contrarily to what is found in natural ecosystems in the biology literature, we uncover a productivity-resilience tradeoff, according to which more unequal regions, i.e, less diverse, tend to be less resilient but more productive. Our findings have implications for farmers and policymakers, who should consider these tradeoffs to ensure food security and price stability in the face of the climate crisis.
