Description of the measure

Cultivation of new crops such as sunflowers or soy beans to adapt the crop cultivation to the changing conditions

Comments on sustainability

New, adapted crops such as sunflowers, soy beans or camelina sativa increase the production possibilities / the crop rotation and may lead to new market opportunities. Heat tolerant crops (take the water demand into account!) can increase the yield stability.
