Water & agriculture: adaptive strategies at farm level

This report presents the results of the EIP-AGRI Focus Group (FG) on “Water & Agriculture: adaptive strategies at farm level”. Water is an essential resource for crop and livestock production. Climate change is generating variations in temperature and rainfall, forcing farmers to rethink how to produce their crops, breed their animals or manage their farms. To counteract the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture due to water scarcity, management strategies at the farm level need to be identified. Channels and mechanisms to make this information available must be established so as to foster implementation by farmers. This Focus Group has collected innovative approaches and adaptive strategies to counteract water scarcity at farm level and has discussed the related challenges and opportunities.
