Climate—Building Resilience
Late frosts affecting fruit growers, droughts affecting vegetable farmers, and rising alcohol levels for winemakers: climate change is no longer a topic of debate—it’s a reality we’re living through. In this episode, a researcher, an IFV project manager, a demonstration winemaker from the Saumur region, and a vegetable farmer from Nantes share their adaptation strategies—from the most immediate to the most transformative. The time for projections is over. The time for solutions has come.

Climate change is no longer a distant prospect: it is already being felt on the ground. Late frosts, droughts, extreme heat waves, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events… Agricultural production must adapt to remain sustainable in the long term.
In this episode, we explore the concept of resilience: how the Sectors is coping with climate change, what strategies are being implemented today, and what the future of agriculture might look like in an uncertain climate.
Research, experimentation, adaptation of practices, and concrete feedback: these discussions bring together scientific perspectives and on-the-ground experiences to better understand potential adaptation strategies, their limitations, and the choices that need to be made right now.
An episode that examines the impact of climate change on crops, while also highlighting solutions, ongoing trials, and the agricultural sector’s ability to adapt.
