Climate Adaptation
Over the last decades, the frequency, intensity and duration of droughts have increased in many regions of the world and this trend is projected to continue with critical impacts on society along the agricultural value chain. The “Sahara summer” of 2003, for example, caused 7,000 fatalities in Germany with economic losses of 1.5 billion Euro alone in agriculture.
Farmers, plant breeders, input suppliers, and aggregator traders in the bioeconomy will have to select from a large range of measures to adapt to climate change and climate variability, not only in Germany and Europe but also in hotspots of agricultural production and food insecurity worldwide.
