Round Table Discussion - What place for irrigation in France and in Europe in the future?

Abstract

In these exchanges, experts from different professional agricultural institutions and from the French and European administrations address the future of irrigated agriculture in Europe in a context where it is often decried by society and where the issue of climate change is becoming increasingly significant. Each actor's inputs are focused around three questions: What are the needs and under what conditions should irrigation be developed in France and in Europe? What policy, what projects for irrigated agriculture? Can irrigation performance be improved?
