Research project
MED-GOLD: Turning climate-related information into added value for traditional MEDiterranean Grape, OLive and Durum wheat food systems
- Start date: 1 December 2017
- End date: 1 November 2021
- Funder: EU Horizon 2020
- Primary investigator: Dr Marta Bruno Soares
- Co-investigators: Professor Suraje Dessai
This project will develop novel pilot climate services focusing on three staples of the Mediterranean food system: grape, olive and durum wheat. The long-term objective of MED-GOLD is to make European agriculture and food systems more resilient, sustainable and efficient in the face of climate change, by using climate services to minimise climate driven risks/costs and seize opportunities for added value.
