Climate resilient cultivation methods for risk optimization – with special consideration of the goals of the arable farming strategy and their regional requirements - subproject HNEE (KARO)
Project
Project code: 2823ABS034
Contract period: 01.04.2024
- 30.06.2027
Budget: 479,341 Euro
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Keywords: crop production, food security, climate change adaptation, cultivation, modeling, forecast, economy
The aim of the KARO project is the region-specific further development of existing crop production systems in their regional context to make them more resilient to climate change phenomena. In the context of the necessary adaptations, the performance and competitiveness of farm enterprises is to be supported primarily by obtaining an improved understanding of climate change-related risks and by developing and demonstrating possible actions to handle these risks. The actions to handle are developed under the premise and along the fields of action of the Arable Farming Strategy 2035. In this approach, the interplay of climatic, crop, phytosanitary and environmental risks is considered and ultimately subsumed in the business economic risk. The HNEE (University for Sustainable Development Eberswalde) accompanies the project with a focus on science-practice-networking and takes the lead in all tasks related to the stakeholder process. This process takes place in three focus regions: North, East, and Southwest. In dialogue with regional stakeholders, the aim is to further develop arable systems with a focus on climate resilience, taking into account ecological and economic requirements. The developed adaptation scenarios will be tested in the focus regions and demonstrated considering the current weather patterns. The respective weather developments will be interpreted in relation to observed and expected phenomena of regional climate change. The evaluation tools and models used will gain practical relevance, regional specificity, and therefore, improved quality through the involvement of stakeholders. Regional on-farm trials are intended to establish a closer link between modelling and practical experience, as well as to test and integrate resilient cultivation methods.
