Preparing for Europe's Hotter and Drier Summers: Crafting Solutions to Climate Change
New research suggests that European summers are likely to become significantly hotter and drier in the coming decades. This could have a devastating impact on crops and other forms of agriculture, leading to an increased risk of famine and water shortages for many countries. To help tackle this problem, scientists are now looking at the possibility of using traditional craft techniques to help farmers adapt to the changing climate. This could involve using traditional methods such as terracing and irrigation systems, as well as more innovative approaches such as the use of soil-less farming methods. By applying the knowledge and expertise of local craftspeople, farmers may be able to increase their resilience and reduce the impact of the changing climate.
