RSSDifficult start to summer lowers EU crop yield prospects
'Open Access', a joint project between the European Commission’s JRC and the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), is allowing the next generation of scientists to develop technologies that could reduce nuclear waste or improve the efficiency of nuclear energy production.
Adverse weather, including a rain deficit in May and a June heatwave, has compromised winter crop yields in Ukraine, with reductions in forecast production levels compared with 2023, albeit close to the five-year average.
The May edition of the JRC's Anomaly Hotspots of Agricultural Production (ASAP) assessment is now available.
A model using changes of soil organic carbon as indicator of soil quality can ultimately improve soil conservation and help ensure food security and environmental protection.
Negative yield outlook in western and central Maghreb
EU crop yield forecasts remain above the 5-year average despite challenging weather conditions
A new version of a JRC-developed database simplifies data collection and data integration into modelling tools, allowing for an in-depth analysis of climate, energy and transport policy.
The April edition of the JRC's Anomaly Hotspots of Agricultural Production (ASAP) assessment is now available.
The agenda is a major update of the roadmap developed back in 2020, driven by increasing user requirements, new technologies, evolving policies in the EU and beyond, and a changing global geopolitical context.
