Research need from Focus Group: Participatory research on climate change effects and measures that can be taken at farm/plot level

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This is the problem:

This need for research has been identified in FG 24 on "forest practices and climate change", If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

The challenges posed by climate change, although global, show strong regional differences. Considering the diversity of forest types and different management traditions across Europe, climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies must fit the region-specific climate change effects expected and local circumstances.
On of the suggestions from this focus group, to ensure the future of our forests is to improve forest management at stand level with special attention to small scale forests. Climate smart silviculture, genetic resources and decision support systems (DSS) and tools can highly contribute to this
objective.

There's a need of participatory research on climate change effects and measures that can be taken at local farm and forest-owner level (as for example quick surveys and reports).
