Résumé : | Water is the most limiting natural resource in many Mediterranean areas of southern Europe, and this, together with the actual scenario of climate change (CC), promotes a framework of uncertainty and creates major challenges concerning the sustainability and viability of the current agro-ecosystems. Spain is one of the main agricultural producers in the EU, and it has one of the largest areas of irrigated land in the EU, which is used to grow several crops (annual and perennial); these crops require different levels of water supply to meet the crop water requirements and ensure profitable yields. In this regard, the preservation of the agricultural sector will largely depend on its capability to adapt to current and future conditions and its ability to ensure viable and high-quality products within sustainable and environmentally friendly management systems. |
