Abstract
This multi-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder (more than 80 partners) plant-based project aims to understand the impact of climate change by studying the multiperformance of a wide variety of adaptation levers related to plants, soil and water resources.
Overall, the work will contribute to the resilience and sustainability of the plant sectors in the West of France.
Firstly, the project is making possible to share knowledge about future climate (toward 2050 and 2035) and measure the resilience of plant sectors (field crops, grassland, seed, viticulture, horticulture, arboriculture). Then, innovative solutions based on the choice of crops, seeds, tillage, water resources are developed to adapt and reduce climate change impacts, and finally it will raise awareness of all stakeholders in the plant sectors about the challenges of climate change to enhance the development of a sustainable and solidarity-based agriculture.
