Summary

This article presents a non-exhaustive list of experimental results from projects carried out across Europe and identified in the framework of CLIMED-FRUIT project.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Adjusting practices to adapt to climate change.
What problem does the tool address?:	The Mediterranean region is known for its warm climate and limited water resources, making vineyards vulnerable to water stress and the impacts of climate change. Prolonged water stress may have a strong negative effect on grapevine photosynthesis and grape yield, especially in dry Mediterranean environments. Various innovative practices have been developed and implemented in the region to address these challenges for water stress management and dry farming. This type of farming relies on the natural moisture retained in the soil and specific farming techniques to ensure crops receive enough water to grow. However, dry farming requires a high level of skills and experience, as farmers must be able to evaluate the soil status and adapt the techniques to changing weather conditions.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Farmers are adjusting their practices to cope, but many of these solutions remain confined to specific regions or agricultural sectors. The EU-funded CLIMED-FRUIT project is working to bridge this gap by collecting and sharing innovative, climate-adaptive practices from various European agricultural groups to enhance resilience and promote effective climate change adaptation and mitigation.
