Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass der Klimawandel zu einer Zunahme von landwirtschaftlichen Produktionsrisiken führt selbst unter Ausschöpfung des Potenzials zur Risikominderung. Mit dem Klimawandel reduzieren sich die durchschnittlichen Ernteerträge und die Variabilität des...

The effectiveness of hedging drought risks with weather derivatives was investigated for rain‐fed grain maize production in Switzerland under current (1981‐2003) and projected future (2070‐2100) climatic conditions. Depending on location, hedging reduced the value‐at‐ (VaR) measure to...

In order to analyze impacts of climate change on managed grassland systems and to project potential changes in farmers' management practices in response to altered climatic conditions, we develop a modeling approach that integrates a process-based grassland model into an economic model. This...

Climate change will alter the environmental conditions for crop growth and require adjustments in management practices at the field scale. In this paper, we analyzed the impacts of two different climate change scenarios on optimal field management practices in winterwheat and grain maize...
