TRANSFORM is a new Horizon Europe project which focuses on the development of innovative crop rotations, a nature-based solution to support agriculture in its adaptation to the challenges of climate change

Climate change and agriculture

The acceleration of climate change could have catastrophic impacts on agriculture. Extreme and unpredictable weather conditions will affect the performance and profitability of crops.
TRANSFORM will contribute to making agriculture more climate-resilient and help reach the goals of the EU Mission: Adaptation to Climate Change

Sustainable 

crop rotations

TRANSFORM will use innovative tools and techniques to introduce new crops and crop sequences,  better equipping farms to withstand changing weather patterns. Improving the resilience and sustainability of farming means ensuring a steady and healthy  food supply, supporting society in facing future climate challenges and contributing to food security in Europe
The effects of climate change can be very local, so solutions must be based on regional requirements and must also be acceptable to the local population. Therefore, TRANSFORM will work with farmers, industry, policy-makers, NGOs and the general public to set out regional roadmaps for crop rotations. These will be validated and demonstrated in 8 regions in Europe during the project

Meeting regional needs

TRANSFORM will use a new, online tool - the Future Rotations Explorer - which explores crop performance and crop sequences under climate change. Simulation modelling will be also used to predict the likely economic, social and environmental impacts of the new rotations. Visualisations (3D, gamification) will allow a better understanding of these effects on a local level
