  Title (up) Climate change impact on production and income of Mediterranean farming systems: a case study Type
  Year 2015 Publication FACCE MACSUR Reports Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 5 Issue Pages Sp5-17  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Adaptation to climate change calls for local responses. The impact of a 2020-30 climate scenario was assessed on a 54,000 ha Mediterranean district characterized by a variety of farming systems (FS), ranging from low-input rainfed (42% of the district area and 16% of the district net income) to high-input irrigated. Climate was generated with a Regional Atmospheric Modelling System nested into a full coupled atmosphere-ocean global simulation model, under the A1B emission scenario. Crop responses to climate were assessed using EPIC after calibration. The Temperature Humidity Index was used to assess the impact on dairy cow milk yield. Farmer choices were simulated on 13 representative FS by an hybrid model of supply, territory and farm. The adaptive choices were simulated through Discrete Stochastic Programming, fed by probability distribution functions output of crop and animal models.  The expected decrease in spring rainfall (-33%) will affect hay-crop production and the net income (NI) of rainfed livestock farms (-5 to -12%). The increased summer temperature will affect dairy cows NI up to -5.9%. Rice production is expected to increase up to +10%. Overall, the NI of irrigated and rainfed farms will be -2.1%  and -5.4% of the current NI respectively, with livestock FS being the most affected and rice and horticultural FS the most resilient. Results will provide an ideal mediating object for engaging policy makers and stakeholders in designing visionary adaptive strategies. No Label

  Title (up) Climate change impacts and adaptation strategies evaluation on staple food crops in different agro-climatic zones Type Conference Article
  Year 2014 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Increasing temperatures, changed precipitation patterns and more frequent extreme events may lead to an increase in crop failure and to a substantial decrease of crop yields. The assessment of climate change impacts on agricultural sector has a particular interest to stakeholders and policy makers, in order to identify specific agricultural sectors and agro-climatic zones that could be more vulnerable to changes in climatic conditions and to develop the most appropriate policies to cope with these threats. For these reasons, the evaluation of climate change impacts for key crops in different agro-climatic zones was made exploring climate uncertainty and focusing on short period monitoring, which is particularly useful for food security and risk management. The analysis was made using the DSSAT-CSM (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer – Cropping System Model) software, version 4.5. Crop models implemented into DSSAT-CSM were used, for each selected crop, to evaluate climate change impacts on crop production. Multiple combinations of soils and climate conditions, crop management and varieties were considered for different agro-climatic zones. The climate impact was assessed using future climate projections, statistically and/or dynamically downscaled, for the specific areas. Direct and indirect effects of different CO2 concentrations, projected for the future periods, were separately explored to estimate their effects on crops. Finally, several adaptation strategies were evaluated with the aim to reduce the negative impact of climate change on crop production. The results of the study, analysed at local and regional scale, will be discussed.
