Abstract
FAO estimates that by 2050 agriculture will have to increase its production worldwide by almost 50% compared to 2012 to be able to satisfy the global demand for food, livestock fodder and biofuels. Climate change brings urgency and uncertainty to this problem. It is fundamental to implement effective adaptation strategies for agricultural practices but, to do so, regional and local studies about the potential impacts of climate change are needed. In this work, a local impact study is performed on an area located in the north-west of Italy, which already suffers from irrigation water supply problems. The final objective is to obtain useful estimates for the future implementation of adaptation strategies.
To reach this objective, a daily-scale hydrological crop model is used to compute temporal series of daily actual evapotranspiration and daily irrigation requirements from 2006 to 2055, considering two future climate scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5)
