As part of the EO4CAM project, colleagues from the Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) visited the Research Center for Arable Farming in Dry Areas in Schwarzenau in the district of Kitzingen in Lower Franconia on the 20th of May. Kitzingen and the surrounding area are particularly well known because heat records have been set here several times in Germany in recent years. The Research Center for Arable Farming in Dry Areas was established by the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL) at the Schwarzenau State Estate (Bayerische Staatsgüter) and is dedicated to researching the challenges of agriculture and future crops in the face of climate change at the “Bavarian Heat Pole”. The joint discussions focused primarily on the topics of climate adaptation and diversity in arable farming, but also on potential cooperation in the context of earth observation for climate adaptation. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration in the future.
