Presentation
Climate change, agricultural management and territories: This course focuses on the uses of territorial resources and the forms and functions of agriculture in the face of greater climatic uncertainty. It is based on the premise that climatic variations:
- are a driving force and a lever for change for territories and their agriculture,
- reinforce the need to move towards quality, relocalized, non-polluting agriculture,
- create new health and environmental quality issues for territories, bringing with them new pollution and disease problems. And these challenges require better knowledge for rapid responses. >> Find out more
