  • Summary:

    Climate change might be an opportunity for Finnish agriculture. However, this will only be the case if proper preparations
    and adaptations are undertaken. Therefore, in 2006 the Finish Ministry of Agriculture initiated the research project ILMASOPU.

    For three years, ending in 2009, the project will analyze how climate change will affect individual sectors of production,
    and how agriculture can be adapted to the new circumstances in due time. The changes in the international supply
    and demand for agricultural products due to climate change will also be incorporated into the analysis.

    The goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive regional projection of Finland’s agricultural production capacity
    and competitiveness. The projections are intended to help private and public decision-makers incorporate the impacts of
    climate change into their strategic planning processes.
