Agriculture Under Climate Stress: Developing Solutions for Heat and Drought Together
Heat and drought present new challenges for crops, outdoor vegetables, livestock, and outdoor work. The information evening on November 17, 2026, at the Training and Education Center Straubing will explore the impacts of extreme weather conditions and demonstrate practical adaptation strategies for agricultural businesses.
Practical Knowledge for Agriculture
The focus is on the research project “Heat in the Transect” from Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University. Since March 2026, the project has been investigating how various sectors can cope with increasing heat. Agriculture forms a significant emphasis here: solutions that work in daily operations and are further developed together with local people are sought.
When Water Becomes the Crucial Resource
The evening will highlight the relationship between temperature, water availability, and irrigation. The discussion will address how heat affects plants, animals, and humans, and what adaptation options agricultural businesses can utilize. The event combines scientific framing with concrete experiences from practice.
Information, Exchange, and Discussion
The program includes an overview of the goals and approach of the research project, handling heat and water, as well as examples from operational practice. Subsequently, the information evening will provide space for exchange and discussion. Farms are also sought that would like to share their experiences with heat, drought, and possible countermeasures in detailed interviews.
Conclusion: Future-proof Agriculture Begins with Exchange
The information evening is aimed at all interested parties and creates a factual platform for knowledge transfer, event planning, and joint solution development. Those wishing to better understand the effects of heat and drought and learn about adaptation strategies for agriculture will experience an informative evening with direct practical relevance at the SAZ Straubing.
