Expected results
• A better adaptation to climate change of majority crops in Mediterranean climate areas implemented under CA with support from PA, due to a greater efficiency in the use of measurable water in the increase in moisture content in the first 50 cm of the edaphic profile.
• A managed digital platform for the evaluation of GHG emissions and energy consumption on farms.
• Protocol of energy and GHG monitoring on farms.
• Fixation of between 0.60-1.50 metric tons more of CO2 per hectare and year on farms with sustainable agricultural techniques with respect to those with conventional ones due to sink effect of CA.
• Reduction by at least 20% of CO2 emissions thanks to the reduction in energy consumption with CA compared to conventional techniques.
• Improvement in the soil quality due to sink effect of CA, quantifiable by the increase in organic matter percentage.
• Legislation of measures supporting the implementation of CA and PA techniques and the inclusion of surfaces under them in the Spanish Survey of Surfaces and Crop Yields (ESYRCE)
• Increase in CA surface measurable via indicators such as a specific machinery census, Geographic Information Systems, and ESYRCE data.
• Technical, practical and scientific documentation on the influence of CA and PA on atmospheric GHG concentration reduction.
