Deliverables
In the frame of WP3 entitled "Application of the high resolution regional climate WRF model", Deliverable No 7 entitled "Technical report on model’s set up" was produced.
AGRO FUTURE CLIMATE STRESS
Crop and livestock
Understanding and addressing the multifaceted impacts of
climate change on agriculture is crucial for ensuring food
security and the sustainability of farming systems worldwide.
TOPICS
Climate change and
agricultural economy, food
efficiency and security
The levels of water stress experienced by popular crops (wheat,
olive) and the levels of heat stress experienced by popular farmed animals
(cows, sheep) will be studied within the project.
ACTION
Basic Research Financing (Horizontal support for all Sciences),
National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Greece 2.0)
SUB-ACTION
Funding Projects in Leading-Edge Sectors
THEMATIC AREA 3
Agricultural Sciences – Food Science & Technology
THEMATIC FIELD 3.7
Climate change: impact on primary production and supply chain
(farm to fork) cyclical economy development of sustainable
systems for food adequacy and safety
THE PROJECT
Crop and livestock stress under climate change scenarios
The present and future levels of water stress and heat stress will be calculated and the results will be comparatively assessed to estimate changes in stress levels that are projected to occur in the future.
The climate projections will be produced by applying the high-resolution regional model WRF.
OBJECTIVES
The aim of
the project
The objectives of studying crop and livestock stress under climate change scenarios can be outlined as follows:
exploit climate
projections
assess the change in water and heat stress that crops andanimals, respectively, will experience in the future in Greece
highlight favourable and
unfavourable farming areas
map the country
propose relevant
adaptation measures
