ASSESSMENT OF COMMON WHEAT QUALITY IN ROMANIA IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE - minireview

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The study aimed to assess common wheat quality in Romania in the context of climate change to identify adaptation measures and ensure the sustainability of the agri-food system. The negative effects of extreme weather events on cereals are manifested starting from the field by affecting the quantitative and qualitative crop indicators, which leads to the decrease of the trade indicators and, therefore to a potential threat for regional agri- food suppliers. The research put a special emphasis on common wheat grown in agricultural regions with a high risk of contamination with the fungi Fusarium spp. and mycotoxin deoxynivalenol. Scientific results will contribute to raising awareness of the climate change effects on the agri-food chain by beneficiaries in scientific research, agricultural production, trade and regulatory authorities. Scientific data are inputs for future projects on the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture and the establishment and/or updating of the risk envelope in the agri-food sector.
