European farming has been hit by an increase in flooding, drought, and heatwaves in recent years. The climate crisis is already causing economic losses for farmers and the agricultural sector and, without intervention, it\u2019s set to get even worse.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about the science. \u201cIn Europe and around the world, the level of risks for the food system, functioning ecosystems and human health are substantially increased by higher levels of warming,\u201d says Dr Peter Alexander, senior lecturer in agriculture and food systems at the University of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers throughout Europe carry the responsibility of feeding the continent &#8211; a heavy burden to bear under the weight of climate change. Within Europe, Dr Alexander is most worried for southern countries, as they face more pronounced dry and hot seasons, followed by intense flooding.<\/p>\n<p>Maaike Smits is a dairy farmer with a herd of 500 cattle including cows, heifers and steers (castrated males) in the south of Portugal. This year he saw the hot, dry summer season lasting into October &#8211; before slipping into a dry winter. \u201cThe extreme warm weather causes stress on our animals,\u201d he says. \u201cWe have had to invest as much as possible in ventilation and a sprinkler system for the cows.\u201d With more money going on maintaining the cows, he is getting less profit in return.<\/p>\n<p>In Emilia-Romagna, Italy, Matteo Pagliarani says flooding in May wreaked havoc on his family farm, home to both crops and livestock. \u201cWe lost our grapes, around 20 hectares of land, and the shelter for our animals,\u201d the 29-year-old farmer says. \u201cSome neighbours lost even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/11\/18\/floods-droughts-and-panic-attacks-climate-change-is-taking-its-toll-on-europes-farmers\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/11\/18\/floods-droughts-and-panic-attacks-climate-change-is-taking-its-toll-on-europes-farmers\">Euronews Green<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/floods-droughts-and-panic-attacks-climate-change-is-taking-its-toll-on-europes-farmers\/\">Floods, droughts and panic attacks: Climate change is taking its toll on Europe\u2019s farmers<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1551,575,696,2358,896,12307],"class_list":["post-118827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-drought","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-europe","tag-farmer","tag-flood","tag-panic-attack"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118827\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
