Fodder crops selection for food security under climate change in Tunisia

Sustaining livestock production through drought- and salinity-tolerant forage crops in Tunisia

or

Detail description

Climate change threatens livestock production in Tunisia through reduced forage yields, water scarcity, and soil salinization. Drought- and salinity-tolerant fodder crops like Medicago sativa (alfalfa) are critical for maintaining livestock output and soil fertility. Resilient cultivars such as Gabels offer sustainable solutions under projected climate conditions, supporting food security in arid and semi-arid regions.
