The aim of the project is to develop and pilot integrated climate-smart agricultural ecosystems. Their objective is to use natural resources as 'sparingly' and efficiently as possible in the sense of a functioning circular economy. At the same time, the project takes into account the challenges of food security and nutrition. IAMO's activities aim to assess selected value chains in terms of their adaptability to climate change and the consequences for the food security of the population. This includes the economic analysis of climate-related production losses, possibly changing price/cost ratios and the associated consequences for consumers in the southern Mediterranean region and sub-Saharan Africa. In a further step, under the leadership of IAMO, case studies in France, Italy, Egypt, Morocco and Senegal will be used to identify the central challenges that provide important starting points for the transformation to climate-resilient value creation systems. IAMO will also engage in discussing the results and indicators identified with all stakeholders involved along the value chain. Furthermore, IAMO will focus on investigating the socio-economic and ecological impacts of the project activities and will continuously communicate scientific results to farmers and policy makers and thus enter into dialogue. In particular, life cycle analyses will be carried out, which will allow an assessment of longer-term risks and opportunities of the developed climate-sensitive agro-ecosystems. At the same time, classical cost-benefit analyses are carried out to evaluate the developed systems. A comparison with other regions that also have special climate risks takes place selectively.
