Abstract Climatic change will seriously impact Mediterranean areas. Palestine, which has given forth annual grain based agriculture, is particularly vulnerable given its political and economic situation. Research is needed to build climate adaptation and resilience into agroecosystems within the same landscape that gave forth agriculture. A primary step in achieving that adaptation is to develop polycultures composed of perennial crops to protect and rebuild the soil. Our preliminary research shows that agrobiodiversity and genetic material for this deep adaptation is already present within the landscape, and if developed could produce the new crops used to build perennial polycultures.

设想巴勒斯坦的多年生农业生态系统

摘要 气候变化将严重影响地中海地区。鉴于其政治和经济形势，巴勒斯坦每年都以粮食为基础的农业，特别脆弱。需要开展研究，在产生农业的同一景观中将气候适应和复原力纳入农业生态系统。实现这种适应的一个主要步骤是开发由多年生作物组成的混养，以保护和重建土壤。我们的初步研究表明，这种深度适应的农业生物多样性和遗传物质已经存在于景观中，如果开发出来，可以生产用于构建多年生混养的新作物。
