Um auch im Klimawandel ausreichend Wasser für die in Nordost-Niedersachsen unverzichtbare Feldberegnung bereitstellen und gleichzeitig die Ansprüche von Naturschutz und anderen Landnutzern wahren zu können, sind neue Formen der Kooperation und Kommunikation notwendig.
In KLIMZUG-NORD wurde ein planerisches Konzept zur Schaffung zukunftsfähiger Kulturlandschaften entwickelt, das eine klimaangepasste und konsensfähige Landnutzung für alle Bereiche ermöglicht.
The Freese Organic Farm is testing a number of adaptation options for agriculture, especially in the area of the cultivation of cereals and of high-quality vegetables. Open-field crop farming is becoming ever more difficult due to climate change. In order to better protect vegetable cultures from such extreme weather events as heat waves or heavy rain, the Freese Organic Farm is testing the following innovations: (1) A new greenhouse covering which, due to its particular permittivity, makes open-field-like light conditions possible in a protected structure. At the same time the farm is seeking resilient, climate adapted vegetable strains which are to be examined for their particular properties, both in open-field cultivation and under the protection of this innovative foil. (2) In the area of cereal raising, the organic farm is trying to cultivate an old strain of rye. (3) And by baking and marketing bread from this rye, the farm wants to raise consciousness about the issue of climate change and adaptation.
