Key messages: Climate change has an impact on European agriculture in a number of ways. already negatively affected the sector Europe, and this will continue future. Future climate might also have some positive effects due to longer growing seasons more suitable crop conditions. However, extreme events affecting Europe is projected increase. A cascade impacts from outside may affect price, quantity quality products, consequently trade patterns, which turn agricultural income Europe. Although...
Organic farming may improve agroecosystems’ resilience against external stressors, favour below-ground biodiversity, soil health, and increase water holding capacity. At the same time, organic systems are repeatedly reported to have lower average crop yields than conventional systems. To date, global meta-analyses on include a diverse range of crops, but none them specifically focus arable with cereal-based rotations. Further, they not representative for specific European...
The Mediterranean Basin is recognized as a "climate change hotspot" due to its high exposure and vulnerability interconnected climatic risks. Agriculture in this region must not only adapt these challenges but also contribute mitigation goals, it significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. This study evaluates the impacts climate on durum wheat productivity two sites southern Sardinian (Italy), representative cereal farming, compares conservation tillage practices (reduced no-tillage)...
The Mediterranean basin has been identified as a prominent hotspot of climate change, with expected negative impacts on crop productivity, among others. Given the primary role that agriculture to sustain cultural values, economic opportunities, and food security, it is crucial identify specific risks in due which can address more effective adaptation strategies policies cope change. This study aims evaluate high-resolution change length growing cycle yield durum wheat, common maize Italy by...
Climate change is a concerning phenomenon worldwide. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions the core of mitigation strategies that are effective countermeasures to address changing climate long term. Nevertheless, need for short-term solutions regarding adaptation (ACC) has gained growing interest scientific community and European institutions. national ACC principles being integrated plans. In Italy, some regions have adopted strategic plans, which influence whole local planning system...
We present in this contribution the varied experiences gathered co-design of a sectoral climate services collection, developed framework MEDSCOPE project, which have common application seasonal predictions for Mediterranean geographical and climatic region. Although region is affected by low predictability limiting skill forecasting systems, historically has hindered development downstream services, project was originally conceived to exploit windows opportunity with enhanced developing...
The expected increase in population and the pressure posed by climate change on agricultural production require assessment of future yield levels evaluation most suitable management options to minimize risk promote sustainable production. Crop simulation models are widely applied tools predict crop development under different practices environmental conditions. aim this study was parameterize CSM-CERES-Wheat CSM-CERES-Maize models, implemented Decision Support System for Agrotechnology...
With an approach combining crop modelling and biotechnology to assess the performance of three durum wheat cultivars (Creso, Duilio, Simeto) in a climate change context, weather agronomic datasets over period 1973-2004 from two sites, Benatzu Ussana (Southern Sardinia, Itay), were used model responses interpreted considering role DREB genes genotype with focus on drought conditions. The CERES-Wheat was calibrated validated for grain yield, earliness kernel weight. Forty-eight synthetic...

Water scarcity is arguably a pressing issue for the 21st century in Mediterranean areas, due to limited water resources, expansion of irrigated area sustain food security and climate change. extraction agriculture sector account about 70% global use, this demand peaks 80% total withdrawal several southern countries. In study, impact change on evapotranspiration demand, crop requirements, yield losses shortage, were assessed by using Simulation Evapotranspiration Applied (SIMETAW_GIS) model....
Coffee is one of the most economically important agri-food systems globally, and main source income for many rural households in several developing countries. Ongoing climate change could cause problems sustainable coffee production, with greater instability from year to lower average yields. To overcome these problems, possible adaptation measures agronomic practices should be evaluated, such as intercropping other tree species that can provide more shade plants promote resilience...
Preserving soil health and enhancing the ecosystem services that produces is of primary importance in European strategies policies. More than 60% soils are unhealthy due to unsustainable land use, pollution, climate change, extreme events. This causes loss services, costing EU at least €50 billion annually. Collaboration among businesses, policymakers, public administration, scientific community crucial develop practices recognize essential role sustaining livelihoods,...
<p>Mediterranean region is recognized as an hot spot for negative effects due to climate change. The already experiencing increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (i.e. drought conditions, fire, floods, heat waves) projections indicate a general exacerbation such phenomena.</p><p>This work, performed the framework Sardinia Region Adaptation Strategy Climate Change collaboration with LIFE Project Master-ADAPT, analyzed impacts...
