WELCOME to AGROFORECAST
Project title:Tailored AGROmeteorological FORECAST for improving resilience and sustainability of Austrian farming systems under changing climate
Weather forecast for crop management and risk mitigation
The overall objective of AGROFORECAST is to combine stakeholder-tailored agrometeorological tools/indicators and seasonal forecasting that is used for optimising agricultural decision-making in the face of changing climate and climate variability. A focus will be on efficient use of inputs for crop production (water, fertilizer, agricultural chemicals) needed for smart and precision farming options while protecting (agro-) ecosystem resources and functions in order to identify suitable and, from a stakeholder perspective, acceptable adaptation and mitigation options.
The results will help to implement short to long term crop management and risk mitigation options by various forecasting lead times.
