In Europe, around 20% of land surface area is covered by agricultural fields. During fallow periods, soils often remain bare. Researchers from the National Centre of Meteorological Research (CNRM, Météo-France/CNRS/University of Toulouse) and the Centre for the Study of the Biosphere from Space (CESBIO, University of Toulouse III—Paul Sabatier/ CNRS/CNES/IRD/INRA) recently published a study in a special issue of Environmental Research Letters dedicated to climate change. In it, they quantify how cover crops could be used during fallow periods to mitigate the effects of climate change. Simulations suggest this strategy could compensate for up to 7% of the greenhouse gas emissions released by the agricultural industry in Europe.

By increasing global temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, climate change will affect the distribution and productivity of crops. In a collaborative study, scientists at INRA Occitanie-Toulouse, INRA Nouvelle-Aquitaine-Bordeaux, and CIRAD sought to describe climate-smart cropping systems that can confront and adapt to the challenges presented by climate change. The results were recently published in EDP Sciences.

Launched in March 2016, the TomGEM project (A holistic multi-actor approach towards the design of new tomato varieties and management practices to improve yield and quality in the face of climate change) aims to improve the yields and quality of tomato varieties in the context of climate change. Coordinated by the INRA-ENSAT Joint Research Unit for Fruit Genomics and Biotechnology in Toulouse, and supported by the TULIP LabEx, 18 partners (from Europe, Argentina and Taiwan) are involved in this international consortium.
