Change in temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation and evaporation, changing temperatures, and increased frequency of extreme weather incidents are some of the consequences of a changing climate. Global agriculture and aquaculture must adapt to these changes if food production is to be maintained or optimized in an environmental and economically sustainable way. Crop and livestock selection, seasonal cultivation strategies and water resource and nutrient management are some of the key problems to be solved by dynamic and multi-disciplinary coping strategies.
DHI provides the expertise to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of climatic changes on agriculture and aquaculture. Adaptive production strategies are based on the modified agro and aqua-climatic conditions predicted by well documented prognoses and projections using world leading environmental and ecological modeling tools. DHI has many years of experience with the modelling of the marine environments, water resources, river runoff, and the development and implementation of water-efficient technologies and technological platforms in order to achieve environmentally and economically sustainable food production.
