Abstract
In the farming region of Eastern Austria, an operational group (OG) consisting of organic farmers, consultants, scientists, stakeholders, as well as partners from the economy is to be established on the topic of water-saving organic agriculture. The objective is to test strategies for adaptation to climate change in agriculture. These strategies include adapted conservation tillage (no-till methods, crops: maize, soybean), the use of farm crops as transfer mulch (to maize, potatoes), and the comparison of fertilization systems as well as testing various tillage techniques (cultivator vs. plow) in a long-term trial. These strategies make a significant contribution to adaption to climate change and to mitigate climate change-related water scarcity. In addition to soil and plant-based results, this study also provides insights into the labor and economic impacts for each farm.
