Agricultural Policy Can Reduce Wildfires. Moreira, F. & Pe'er, G. 359(6379):1001.1-1001. Paper doi abstract bibtex [Excerpt] [...] Agriculture is an important driver of European wildfires. It is a major source of fire ignitions [...]. Additionally, farmland abandonment and policies promoting forestry increase fire hazard, as they lead to vegetation growth and fuel build-up in the landscape [...]. However, agriculture is also part of the solution. Agricultural areas, such as crops, orchards, and grasslands, are much less fire-prone, particularly if they include irrigated crops [...]. The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a powerful financial instrument that can contribute to sustainable environmental management and climate change adaptation. [...] [] Megafires are mostly driven by weather conditions [...], and with climate change we should anticipate an increase in their frequency and impact, especially in southern Europe [...]. The current strong investment in fire suppression, in a context of farmland abandonment, results in increased fuel loads and potential for larger future fires [...]. The European agricultural policy should instead balance fire suppression with nature-based solutions. Multifunctional, fire-resilient, mosaic landscapes can maintain both natural and cultural assets and serve to reduce fire intensity and damage when burned. [...]
