Climate-resilient cultivation methods for risk optimization – with special consideration of the goals of the arable farming strategy and their regional requirements - subproject ZALF (KARO)
Project
Project code: 2823ABS031
Contract period: 01.04.2024
- 30.06.2027
Budget: 343,321 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. ZALF focuses on two main areas in KARO. On the one hand, 1) agronomic adaptation strategies are developed and translated into regional cropping systems with reference to the Arable Farming Strategy 2035 (SWP 3.1); 2) the agronomic risk is determined (SWP 4.2); 3) the arable cropping systems are optimised (SWP 6.1). On the other hand, 1) regionally differentiated crop yield and cropping patterns & ecosystem services, including their trade-offs and synergies, are identified and quantified (SWP 3.4) and applied to three risk levels by including agronomic and economic risks in the derivation of crop yield and cropping patterns & ecosystem services. (SWP 4.2); 2) environmental risks are assessed and a contribution to the risk assessment is made (SWP 4.5-4.6); 3) an optimisation with regard to environmental risk is made in order to minimise trade-offs and promote synergies (SWP 6.4). ZALF leads WP 3 on 'arable adaptation strategies with reference to the Arable Strategy 2035 and trade-offs and synergies' and is involved in the preparation of the phenology scenarios and the regional stakeholder process.
