Climate-resilient farming learning environment
To help growers better prepare for climate change, the online learning environment 'Climate-resilient Farming' has been launched on Groen Kennisnet. The learning environment 'Climate-resilient Farming' offers practical information, tools, real-life examples and teaching materials. Farmers, students, teachers and policy makers can use this to better understand risks such as drought, flooding and heat stress and to actively respond to them. The environment also refers to the podcast series 'Sowing the Future' in which researchers and experts take you through themes such as water availability, entrepreneurship, salinization, a risk management.
