1. Agriculture and climate change

How can farmers respond to climate change? Temperature curves, rainfall distribution and water balance – regional and global. What should we be prepared for? Impacts on yields and productivity per unit area. How can agriculture adapt? How are the cropping regions for the principal crops changing, globally and regionally?

2. Conservation tillage

How can conservation tillage be implemented at the different sites? What are the framework conditions for such procedures in moderate, tropical, subtropical, humid and arid climates? How are these distributed throughout the word? What must agriculture invest? How safe are the yields? What potential does direct drilling have for reducing CO2 emissions?

3. Arable soils of the earth – America

Arable soils are precious, for only 3 % of the total surface of the planet can be used as arable land. Walk-over soil maps will show the most important arable soils of North and South America, Central and Eastern Europe. Presentation boards will provide information about the soil properties essential for arable farming and describe the best options for use and farming. Sustainable management of the earth’s arable soils is an absolute necessity.
