Projektin kuvaus
The rising global demand for food is placing unprecedented strain on the planet's land and water resources. In recent years, critical agricultural regions have experienced increasing water stress due to a combination of factors, including population growth, transboundary water allocation disputes, mismanagement of water resources, declining soil health, and extreme climate events. Addressing these challenges requires innovative and practical approaches to disentangle the influence of each factor on crop yields. The situation is further complicated by the unique temperature and water requirements of crops at different developmental stages. Conventional agricultural models struggle to account for these complexities and uncertainties, particularly in regions with limited access to advanced agricultural technologies. This challenge is magnified by the potential impacts of climate change on irrigation water availability, underscoring the need for targeted research into the effects of hydro-climatological extremes on crop production. The multidisciplinary project (BSCANDF) aims to address these pressing issues. By integrating expertise in hydrology, climatology, agriculture, and information and communication technologies (ICT), the project offers a unique platform for advancing climate-resilient agricultural practices. This initiative leverages Finland's resources and focuses on selected farming pilot sites to develop sustainable solutions for the challenges posed by changing hydro-climatological patterns.
