In recent years, cooperation between enterprises and the scientific community has opened exploration of new climate services to understand emerging opportunities to enhance/stabilize agricultural production and reduce risks due to climate hazards. The information released by applied research on climate change can create benefits and opportunities, giving a wider vision of the future and facilitating strategic planning activities for different economic sectors, such as agribusiness. This information may relate to the characterization and evolution of weather-climatic conditions and the use of agro-climate models.
24 months from 01/07/2024 to 30/06/2026
General aims
Create and validate hazelnut productivity modelling scheme based on physically based crop modelling and suitability as a function of different agro-climate indicators and extremes over critical phenological phases.
CMCC role
WP1 and WP3 Leaders
Activities
– Agro-climate indicators relevant to hazelnut crop model and climate risks
– Phenological modelling, land suitability and productivity schemes based on Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Expected results
It will provide a more reliable understanding of how climate change and climate risk may affect at regional, and country scales the hazelnut production and farming activities in the future
