Land use adaptation to cope with drought and heat waves in the Italian agricultural sector: impacts, risks and synergies for achieving the environmental targets

NEUTRALISE

ABSTRACT

NEUTRALISE (acronym of laNd usE adaptation to cope with droUghT and heat waves in the Italian agRiculturAL sector: Impacts, riSks and synErgies for achieving the environmental targets) aims to create an interdisciplinary research group integrating knowledge and methods to obtain an operational instrument and know-how regarding the issue “climate – adaptation strategies in agriculture – indicators/risk maps”.

The National Strategic Plan of 2023-2027 CAP emphasizes the importance of land use adaptation to improve the resilience of farms to climatic events such as drought. Specifically, considering the entity and the growing frequency of drought phenomena, different adaptation strategies are necessary to reduce the negative impacts, including land use change.  The realization of the project allows to overcome some current gaps and then provide useful information to stakeholders and policymakers regarding the Climate Change (CC) impacts on water resources and farms through the use of indicators and risk maps.

NEUTRALISE will lead to an advance of knowledge and positive impacts on society. The progress will concern the individual research groups, and the whole integrated group as a whole, stimulating the international scientific community to operate and research on the topic. A positive impact on society will be to contribute to the achievement of various 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, in particular GOALS 1, 2, 6, 12, and 13.
