Simulated Drought at Altitude: Climate-Proof Forage Mixtures
The frequency and intensity of summer droughts are increasing as a result of climate change. In mountainous areas, where the growing season is already short, the yield and quality of grassland forage are increasingly diminishing during dry years. The #DryMountProject (2023-2027) aims to test new forage mixtures that are better adapted to drought. It is being conducted in the five partner cantons of the experimental station for Alpine and Mountain Farming.
Die Versuchsstation Alp- und Berglandwirtschaft entwickelt praxisorientierte Lösungen für die aktuellen und zukünftigen Herausforderungen der Betriebe im Berggebiet.
