Agriculture Resilience and Nature-Based Solutions in the Era of Climate Change
Speak4Nature Seminar Series
23.07.2025 12:15 – 14:00
Location: conference room, fourth floor, RCC
Presenters: Rossana Pennazio and Enrico Ferrero (University of Eastern Piedmont, Italy)
Moderator: Jonatan Palmblad
In this interdisciplinary Speak4Nature seminar, Rossana Pennazio and Enrico Ferrero from the University of Eastern Piedmont, Italy, will present their research on climate change from the perspective of environmental law and physics.
Today, the agri-food market is ravaged by unexpected events—or rather predictable, but unpredictable in their effects—such as the extreme impacts of climate change. This situation presents increasingly difficult challenges for agriculture that call for urgent adaptation and mitigation measures. In the first part of this talk, the effects of climate change on agriculture are thus examined, while the second part is dedicated to a discussion on so-called “Nature-based Solutions,” with a focus on agroforestry, meaning adaptation methods based on natural effects compatible with the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
No registration is needed for in-person participation. If you would like to attend online, however, please register here.
Speak4Nature is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie-funded staff exchange action of the European Commission, with the specific object of transferring both theoretical and empirical knowledge related to the techniques that assert the voice of non-human nature in social and legal instances.
