Climate change, soil health, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, and economic pressure are just some of the challenges faced by agriculture. The Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences at unibz is conducting intensive research into solutions to these problems, to develop sustainable and economically viable approaches to fruit and wine growing, livestock farming, arable farming, and forestry.

This dossier provides insights into current projects, ranging from developing climate-resilient varieties and using digital technologies in fruit growing to citizen science, agroecology, sustainable agritourism, and the use of historical climate data.
