No. | CCA action | Connection to CCA | No. | CCA action | Connection to CCA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Extended mountain grazing | Extension of the vegetation period requires adaptation of the grazing management | 16 | Gene bank of the province of Tyrol | See 9 |
2 | Drought tolerant varieties for grasslands | Droughts require tolerant varieties to minimize losses | 17 | Initiative for climate protection and domestic food | Raising awareness for regional food helps to strengthen “climate-adaptive-friendly” products |
3 | Hail-nets | Hail-nets protect sensitive crops from hail damages | 18 | “Tiroggl”—regional rye bread | See 2 |
4 | Low-input systems | Changing global conditions lead to price volatilities. Thus, farms which are more independent of external resources (e.g. fodder) are more resilient to the impacts of CC | 19 | “Fisser Gerste”—regional barley cultivation and marketing | Ancient grains have a broad diversity of genetic resources, which can contribute to adaptation |
5 | Organic farming | Organic farming is better adapted to climate change in some aspects (e.g. humus content of the soil) | 20 | “LEBA” association for information, consultation and marketing of regional, organic products | Organic farming is better adapted to climate change in some aspects. Moreover, awareness raising of customers towards “climate-adaptive friendly” products is essential to create a demand for such products |
6 | “Schmatzi”—awareness raising for young children | Raising awareness for domestic food among the youngest helps to strengthen “climate-adaptive-friendly” products | 21 | Tyrolean mountain pasture pig | One CCA measure is to preserve mountain pastures. Developing innovative products that achieve an added value from the pastures can make an important contribution |
7 | “School on the farm” | Raising awareness for domestic food among children helps to strengthen “climate-adaptive-friendly” products | 22 | Quality Tyrol—direct marketing of domestic products | Creating regional sales opportunities reduces farmers’ dependencies on retail chains and exports. This makes the farmers more resilient when global conditions change |
8 | Sustainability prize | Sustainable producing farms are in many aspects better adapted to CC. Hence, raising awareness in this field is fundamental | 23 | Project: “Almleben”—strengthening added values and economic performances on mountain pastures | See 22 |
9 | Project: CereAlps—collection, and preservation of landraces | Ancient grains have a broad diversity of genetic resources, which can contribute to adaptation | 24 | “Bio vom Berg”—producer-owned brand for organic products from Tyrol | Organic farming is better adapted to climate change in some aspects (e.g. humus content of the soil) |
10 | Ancient Tyrolean grains | See 9 | 25 | “Gutes vom Bauernhof”—direct marketing of domestic products | See 22 |
11 | Project: Gene-Save - potential uses of bread grain landraces | See 9 | 26 | Association for defense and research of hail | Although the link between climate change and an increase of hail is not scientifically evident, damage sums are rising and hail defense can be an adaptation strategy |
12 | Project: Organic mountain agriculture in Tyrol | Direct connection to CCA within the project | 27 | Insurances against natural disasters (droughts in pastures) | Insurance covers for extreme events, such as droughts, help farmers to overcome serious damages |
13 | Project: Capital Adapt—the role of social and human capital regarding climate change adaptation | Direct connection to CCA within the project | 28 | Association of farm women | The farm women’s network strengthens social and human capital which enhance resilience against CC (esp. extremes) |
14 | Project: Clim Grass—climate change impacts in grasslands | Direct connection to CCA within the project | 29 | “Quality of life on farms” | Strengthening farmers personal resources enhances resilience against CC |
15 | Tyrolean climate strategy | Direct connection to CCA within the strategy |
