Organic soils as a starting point of adaptation

Summary

In Switzerland, extreme weather is disrupting both livestock and crop systems:
- Highland areas face livestock feed shortages due to reduced grass growth.
- Lowland regions report yield declines from sunburn and heat stress.
- Organic soil management plays a critical role:
- For mitigation – by reducing emissions linked to soil.
- For adaptation – by buffering the impacts of extreme weather on crops.
