Climate change, agricultural management and territories: This pathway focuses on the uses of territorial resources as well as the forms and functions of agriculture faced with greater climatic uncertainty. It postulates that climate variations:
- are a driving force and a lever of change for territories and their agriculture,
- reinforce the need to move towards quality, relocalized and non-polluting agriculture,
- create new sanitary and territorial environmental quality issues by bringing new pollution and disease problems. And these challenges require better knowledge for rapid responses. >> Learn more
