SCOPE: As part of other PROCLIAS activities, this workshop will focus on climate impacts in agriculture, forestry and food industries. This ranges from direct climate cross-impacts to / from crops and farm animals to socio-economic implications for the populations and value-added production (food, forest products, etc). The intent is to assess the effects of some key climate and parametric climate policy changes from data /models/ observations, and to provide equilibrium solutions relevant in agriculture. The workshop will also include a session of hands-on work, to demonstrate the difficulties involved in exploiting heterogeneous scientific and economic data, and to analyze or quantify objectively climate cross-impacts in agriculture. The workshop language is English.
ATTENDANCE
- International PROCLIAS COST Action participants with a clear contribution to the workshop and dedication to contribute to its (follow-up) activities;
