  2. Rising population, diminishing arable land, declining non-renewable energy supplies, increasing awareness of potential environmental degradation, climate change and variability. Common need to reach an equilibrium between the use of production resources and the preservation of the resources themselves.

  3. Publius Vergilius Maro - Georgicae 37 - 30 B.C.

  4. Át prius ígnotúm ferró quam scíndimus aéquor, véntos ét variúm caelí praedíscere móremcúra sit ác patriós cultúsqu(e) habitúsque locórum,ét quid quaéque ferát regi(o) ét quid quaéque recúset.Híc segetés, illíc veniúnt felícius úvae,árboreí fetús alib(i) átqu(e) iniússa viréscunt grámina.

  5. …An unknown surface,heed we to forelearn the winds and varying temper of the sky, the lineal tillage and habits of the spot, what every region yields, and what denies. Here blithelier springs the corn, and here the grape, there earth is green with tender growth of trees and grass unbidden. See how from Tmolus comes the saffron's fragrance, ivory from Ind, from Saba's weakling sons their frankincense, iron from the naked Chalybs, castor rank From Pontus, from Epirus the prize-palms. And such the laws by Nature's hand imposed on clime and clime….

  6. The agricultural system Agronomic: management for the optimization of yield quantity and quality Climate: growing season lenght, temperature, rainfall, radiation, extreme events frequency output inputs

  7. Why the same species grows differently in different geographic areas ?? Because radiation is differently distributed at global, regional, local scales.

  8. Radiation is the growth source and the modulator of plant morphology and structure

  9. Light intensity Light quality Yield performance

  10. Increase,optimum,decrease (enzymes degradation) Why the same species grows differently in different geographic areas ?? Because photosynthesis is sensitive to temperature Because phenological crop development and lenght of the growing season are driven by cumulated temperatures

  11. Why the same species grows differently in different geographic areas ?? Because of soil type and of water availability

  12. Objectives of the workshop To review and recommend appropriate techniques for agroclimatic characterization and sustainable land management, including technologies such as GIS and remote sensing

  13. Objectives of the workshop To provide examples of innovative techniques for sustainable land management, based on suitable agroclimatic characterization, as documented from surveys of succesful pilot projects at the national and regional levels

  14. Objectives of the workshop To develop a statement of requirements for defining and quantifying observational characteristics in general and for specific regions, pertaining to agroclimatic features, land use management and projected future trends, emphasizing the adequacy of information needed for application of GIS technology to agriculture, rangelands, forestry and fisheries

  15. Objectives of the workshop To make recommendations on the methods to cope with limitations and weaknesses in the provision and accessibility of innovative operational technologies at the national and regional levels
