The 4th webinar on the subject of “Climate Change in Agriculture” took place on 28 April 2021 by focusing on the topics of Vegetation evolution and Agroforestry in a climate changing environment. Dr. Anastasia Pantera, Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens, elaborated the participants of how climate change with the extreme weather conditions may significantly affect the evolution and the dynamics of vegetation. Additionally, Dr. George Fotiadis, Assistant Professor at the Agricultural University of Athens presented the aspects of agroforestry and the fact that this climate smart farming system has, in the past few decades, progressively been replaced by intensive monocrops, at the expense of many environmental parameters deteriorating ecosystems’ health. Climate changing conditions will add to the pressure already imposed in the Mediterranean basin ecosystem’s sustainability.
