Forage mixtures adapted to drought in mountain areas

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.
