Agriculture

Arable crops such as maize, potatoes and sugar beet are of central importance for agricultural production in Europe. In 2017, the total agricultural area in the European Union amounted to 178.7 million hectares, of which 105.5 million hectares were arable land. Source: Statista

These crops make a significant contribution to food security and economic stability. At the same time, climate change is presenting farmers with ever greater challenges. According to the Austrian hail insurance company, drought damage in agriculture already amounts to 100 million euros. The situation is particularly critical in vegetable growing: heat stress, pest pressure and rising irrigation costs are leading to considerable losses. Yield losses of up to 80 percent in cabbage and losses in carrots, onions and corn are no exception. These alarming developments underline how urgently solutions are needed to strengthen the resilience of arable farming to the consequences of climate change. Source: Austrian Hail Insurance
