Many developing countries have become recently global agricultural suppliers. However, this has often achieved through an uncontrolled irrigation increase. Only a sustainable irrigation management will keep the agricultural production levels. Asparagus in Ica Valley For instance, Ica Valley, Perú, is now one of the largest asparagus producers of the world.The Ica Department contributes more than 3% … [Read more...] about Sustainable irrigation management based on simulations
Improving irrigation scheduling is among the best Climate-Change adaptation options. Increasing agricultural water-use efficiency might reduce the impact of reduced hydraulic resources and climate variability.According to the last IPCC report Climate Change means an important challenge to agriculture. Particularly, irrigated agriculture might face a significant reduction in water availability.Furthermore, the temperature rising would increase the … [Read more...] about Improving irrigation scheduling to reduce climate impacts
Weather generators provide synthetic daily values of meteorological variables, statistically equivalent to observed local series of those variables. Weather generators – Procedure The IPCC suggests considering weather generators for climate impact assessments, pointing out the conditions of their use. Weather Generators are not forecasts, but tools to assess the impacts of climate … [Read more...] about Weather generators: Estimating climate impacts
The ISO 22301 standard guidelines “Business continuity management” might help businesses to increase their climate resilience.Businesses certified with the ISO 22301 standard will count on a Risk Management Plan. This plan will help the business to deal with climate disruptive events, and the expected climate variability increase. A business certified with ISO 22301 could show customers that they are well prepared to continue providing their … [Read more...] about Climate risks ISO 22301: Assessing and managing risks
Combining seasonal forecasts with weather generators is a suitable approach to estimate climate risks for the coming weeks or months.Local climate variability depends on global climate patterns, thousands of miles away.Some of those “teleconnections” are persistent, recurrent and covering a wide spatial scale, such as whole continents or even larger areas.Perhaps the most important climate pattern, significantly influencing global climate … [Read more...] about Seasonal forecasts and climate-variability impact assessments
