CLIMED-FRUIT: Climate change resilience for perennial mediterranean crops
Kontext
The Mediterranean region is the European area with the strongest impact of climate change on agriculture: increasing extreme heat events, droughts, biodiversity loss, water demand… Perennial fruit crops (e.g., grapevine, olive, avocado, cherries, lemons) represent an important land area of this region and are currently facing climate change. Farmers are changing or adapting their practices accordingly, but some of these practices are not managing to cross territorial borders or remain limited to a specific agricultural sector. The EU-funded CLIMED-FRUIT project aims to share this new expertise, collected from different operational groups across Europe, from other international initiatives and from agricultural providers for a better climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Objectives
- Scaling local solutions dealing with climate change up to an EU level
- Widening knowledge on ready-to-use practices to adapt to climate change
- Improving understanding of climate change risks and solutions available to mitigate them
- Helping Europe to become climate-neutral by 2050
Activities
The project is implemented by a multi-actor consortium (advisors, farmer organisations, research and education institutes, one standardisation organisation), and builds on the results of a core group of 9 Operational Groups. Several consortium partners are involved in the coordination and the implementation of these 9 OGs, which allows them to have direct on-hand feedback from practitioners.
