Wagner, 12
13 2.2 Future Situation (2050) Alp-Water-Scarce Final Conference September 2011 Development of agriculture In general: strong need for agricultural products, production has to increase by 70% (in development countries by 100%) Liberalisation -specialisation scenario:growing market pressure, depending on policy interventions different regional concerns: lower production in disadvantaged, marginal regions, higher, more intensive production in advantaged regions Conservative scenario:more policy intervention: keeping production in disadvantaged regions (environmental, regional economy concerns), environmental concerns in intensively used regions, development more balanced K. Wagner, 13

Source: A: Lebensministerium 2010, F:, I. Sl: European Union, Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development 2010; Information of Pilot region project partners, CH: Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft Clusters: Italian regions: measures concerning water saving in force, highly dependent on irrigation, some regions with high aridity risk North-eastern regions: grassland farming, water intensive livestock, only a small share of subsidies dedicated to water saving measures South-eastern regions: relatively low aggregated risk of water scarcity, only special sectors concerned, small share of money in water saving measures K. Wagner, 17
18 4 Agricultural options for adaptation to / mitigation of water scarcity General: Land / stable management, soil cultivation Intensity / organic farming Varieties, species Products Farm management Water management Policy, administration K. Wagner, 18
19 4.1 Regional specific options, depending on risk patterns Short-term measuresin every case (positive environmental effects, indifferent economic effects) Adapted nutrient, weed, pest management Conservational tillage, mulch seeding, landscaping measures Adapted crop calendar, plant density, grazing / stable systems Efficient irrigation technology Risk management (insurance systems to minimise risk of crop losses for farmers, multiple risks, hail, frost, public support in some member states, special funds for flooding or droughts) K. Wagner, 19
20 4.2 Regional specific options, depending on risk patterns: Long-term measuresto change structures and systems (negative economic effects, indifferent effects on production, landscape, regional economy) change from intensively used grassland to low input systems (focus in SteirischesRandgebirge, Koralpe, Karawanken, Julian Alps, Noce, Tarentaise) Adapted crops (winter / spring, reduction of field forage crops, focus in SteirischesRandgebirge, Koralpe, Karawanken, Pohorske, Dravsko-PtujskoPolje, Scrivia) Reduction of livestock intensity, Change of livestock systems (focus in SteirischesRandgebirge, Koralpe, Jauntal, UnteresGurktal, Sterisches Becken, Noce, Pohorske, Dravsko-Ptujsko Polje) Extension of irrigation only under certain conditions. K. Wagner, 20
21 4.3 Economic effects: advantages, disadvantages for farm enterprises, examples for Austria: Land management, soil cultivation (additional expenditure for autumn mulch seed in planting: 109 /ha, saving of expenditure in case of direct seeding in winter planting: 31 /ha) Crop rotation (important in Austria: maize ear silage, change to maize whole plant silage which makes better use of winter humidity means 1,359.- /hadisadvantage for farmers per year) Irrigation (to reduce climate-induced yield variations, but most expensive investment in agriculture, also high operative costs, (400-1,900 /ha per year), paysonly in case of special products, high producer prices and really dry years, long term sustainability??)
