Project name: Indicadores de Resiliência Climática para Inovação Tecnológica na Agricultura
Project code: CRIKIT
Project timeline: 2023 - 2026
Research group: Manufacturing and Industrial Management
Objective
CRIKIT?s overall objectives are five-fold: 1. Identify transformative measures to accelerate climate action and resilience in agriculture by conducting a systematic assessment based on the downscaling of integrated assessment model (IAM) climate scenarios under different global warming levels and climate ambition (T2); 2. Characterise the technological and economic performance of selected measures (obj.1) based on technical and financial parameters, and social inputs (T3); 3. Evaluate the GHG mitigation potential of on-farm measures (obj.1) and its interactions with other local ecosystem services (including soil sustainability, biodiversity, water scarcity, and water pollution) (T4); 4. Develop a multi-criteria tool that evaluates the multiple techno-socioeconomic and environmental criteria (objs. 2 &3) of on-farm measures illustrated by a specific case study in Centre-Southern Portugal and identifies potential barriers to their implementation and means to overcome them (T5); 5. Increase capacity for scientific support for implementation of measures to reduce GHG emissions and increase resilience in agriculture and share best practises to facilitate decision-making process of influential agricultural players and local policymakers at local and national levels (T6). By exploring both analytical and experimental frameworks, the CRIKIT.
