The aim of this network is to combine Nordic researchers and stakeholders to discuss adaptation, mitigation and breeding of trees and crops for future climate. Climate will be similar for plants and trees, and enhancing collaboration will be beneficial for both. Joining forces between disciplines will also make Nordic area stronger in EU research where already presently forestry and agriculture are included in the same call.
Outcome and outreach: joint international proposals, joint lobbying for EU, joint message to end users, project plans on transferring knowledge into practice
