Fruit production in a changing climate – Risks and opportunities in temperate regions

The book “Fruit production in a changing climate”, coordinated by Jean-Michel Legave, has been published by Quae. Fruit production in temperate climates plays a key role in our diet and comes from a wide variety of crops that often only grow in regions with specific climatic conditions.

What effects will climate change have on the performance, diversity and distribution of these crops? Will these effects increase the intrinsic vulnerability of fruit production, while also generating opportunities, and offering them a new momentum? What tools and levers will make it possible to anticipate the adaptation of fruit crops to climate change? How can climate adaptation and economic competitiveness be reconciled?

In order to answer these questions, this book presents a vast panorama of knowledge ranging from climate developments and predictions to the eco-physiological and agronomic processes that determine the production of fruit crops.
