Integrates climate and agricultural data to predict crop risks. Enhances resilience of farmers, food companies, and consumers by supporting food security policies.
Challenge
Ongoing climate change poses a number of risks to food security through drought and heat waves. Furthermore, slow-onset processes also bring changes in the incidence of biotic hazards and new occurrences of invasive pests, diseases, and weed species in agriculture.
Solution
The integration of data from observational research (ICOS, eLTER), climate manipulation experiments (AnaEE), and airborne or satellite remote sensing. Results obtained by integrating experimental and analytical platforms and understanding risk factor interactions will be built based on the AgroRisk.cz portal .
Outcome
AgroRisk portal connected to the IRISCC service portfolio and supplemented with new models and parameters combining different types of risks, validated for the territory of the Czech Republic and tested in Finland, Austria, and Slovakia.
Reproducibility
The integrated IRISCC service linking to the AgroRisk portal will provide a scalable and transferable solution for risk forecasting in agriculture and short-term weather forecast for the next 5-10 days and the necessary validation in the case of the occurrence of specific biotic risks.
