Climate change and the future of agriculture: How are you preparing?
Climate change has major implications for the agricultural sector. Extreme weather, new diseases and pests, and higher CO₂ concentrations present growers with many challenges. For example, longer periods of drought and heavy rainfall not only cause unpredictable harvests, but higher temperatures also lead to a shift in crop growth and the emergence of new threats, such as diseases and pests that did not previously occur.
What can you do to minimize climate risks?
Growers cannot avoid adapting to these changing conditions. Some strategies to consider:
- Precision farming: Use advanced data technologies, such as monitoring weather conditions and soil moisture, to optimize crop growth.
- Crop diversification: By growing different crops, you spread risks and can better respond to changing conditions.
- Adaptive strategies: Work with advisors to anticipate disease pressure and changing pests.
