Massetti: An exit from the European Union creates incentives for irredentism, for joining another state that has remained in the Union. We’ve seen this as the cogency of Northern Irish irredentism in approaching Ireland increases. If we translate this situation to a hypothetical Italexit, with a more significant border between Italy and Austria, the South Tyrolean question c level executive list be rekindled even with such extensive autonomy, and the desire to return with Austria could perhaps intensify.Apples with sunburn

Climate change is affecting agriculture, water availability is decreasing, and conventional fruit varieties are reaching their climatic limits. Both high-tech and simple measures are being researched to mitigate these effects. Against this changing horizon, South Tyrolean agriculture has to answer some fundamental questions, explain Massimo Tagliavini, Professor at things to note when using rcs and sms Faculty of Agricultural, Environmental and Food Sciences (unibz) and biologist Georg Niedrist (Eurac Research).
2023 was the warmest year in 125,000 years and the trend is not abating. Will South Tyrol’s landscape soon be book your list by citrus and olive plantations?
Massimo Tagliavini: Most likely, apart from a few areas, the winters
South Tyrol are not mild enough for purely Mediterranean crops.
Georg Niedrist: Exactly. At least in the next 20 to 30 years, the temperatures here will always be too cold for such crops because of winter inversion, even in valley floors. However, climate change is leading to a geographical shift in climate zones. We already have a climate in Bolzano that is comparable to that of Verona around 30 years ago. So, there is a shift in climate zones towards the north and, of course, upwards in altitude too.
