Background

Highlighted: climate adaptation in plant research

Due to climate change, we are increasingly confronted with extreme weather conditions, such as drought or heavy rain. This can have disastrous consequences for nature and therefore also the harvest. Wageningen University & Research conducts research into climate-adaptive crops, but also climate-adaptive agricultural systems in the Netherlands and worldwide.
