Securing yield stability of Brassica crops in changing climate conditions – SYBRACLIM
Extreme and variable climate conditions are expected to become more frequent worldwide with projected climate change. European agriculture is facing the crucial challenge of adapting crop productivity to climate change and will need the development of crops with increased resilience to abiotic stres
New generation sustainable tools to control emerging mite pests under climate change – GENOMITE
Climate change (CC) will have serious and profound impacts on pests and diseases of agricultural crops in Europe and it is vital that new tools and management methods are developed to tackle the problems that will increasingly threaten EU food production as a result. •In this project, for the first
Sustainable and environmental friendly rice cultivation systems in Europe – GreenRice
In Europe, rice (467 000 ha) is gown under permanently flooded (PF) conditions using irrigation waters of major rivers. Climate change, which has led to a greater fluctuation in river flows, is a major challenge to rice production systems, which depend on large and consistent water supplies. This ch
Bridging landscape genomics and quantitative genetics for a regional adaptation of European grasslands to climate change – GrassLandscape
In the next decades, grasslands as important ecosystems and basis of dairy and meat production are likely to experience damages and subsequent production losses due to changing climate. Recent events (e.g. severe drought in Western Europe in 2003) highlighted an insufficient capacity in local popula
Improving models and plant phenotyping pipelines for a smart agriculture under abiotic stress combination and elevated CO2 – MODCARBOSTRESS
Climate change accelerates the need for a smarter, more efficient, more secure agriculture. Because climate change is predicted to increase spatial and temporal variability, crop models able to predict the best local allele/phene combinations within a species, in addition to the best management syst
Climate Change Adaptability of cropping and Farming systems for Europe – Climate-CAFÉ
The Climate-CAFE project focuses on increasing the “adaptive capacity” of arable and forage crops to climate change (CC). We will use an interdisciplinary approach to evaluate traditional and more novel regional adaptation and mitigation strategies along a North-South climate gradient in the EU and
Climate Genomics for farm animal adaptation – ClimGen
ClimGen is a project that focuses on the identification and use of ‘omics technology for building livestock resilience to climate change. Bringing together previous and ongoing national, EU and global efforts to understand livestock adaptation to climatic extremes, the project will seek to identify
