MEDGOLD -Turning climate-related information into added value for traditional MEDiterranean Grape, OLive and Durum wheat food systems

2021-02-27
MED-GOLD will demonstrate the proof-of-concept for climate services in the agriculture sector by developing case studies for three hallmarks of the Mediterranean food system: grapes, olives and durum wheat. Agriculture is primarily climate-driven and hence highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Evidence suggests that the Mediterranean region is under immediate threat of shifting climate...
