Dezvoltarea de soluții bazate pe natură pentru agricultură și silvicultură, progres al ameliorării genetice.

The objective of this article was to inform the public opinion and specialists from agriculture and forestry regarding the latest achievements of the breeders in the two fields, namely the obtaining of new varieties of potato and spruce, with climate resilience and the ability to respond to the present and future societal needs. In the last period, major changes have been observed at all levels, from climate changes to the preferences of producers and consumers, as well as production technologies. Climatic changes, due to the global warming process through the continuous increase in carbon dioxide emissions, manifest themselves significantly through long periods of drought, with damaging effects on agricultural and forestry productions. The creation of resilient varieties allows these critical periods to be overcome, simultaneously with the use of ecological and environmentally friendly technologies. Among the most recent achievements of the breeders in agriculture and forestry is the obtaining of 12 new varieties of potato and one of spruce, with adaptive plasticity. The progress of genetic breeding, through the development of nature-based solutions, which are based on the creation of new varieties, also ensures the perpetual enrichment of the genetic pool, in addition to increasing the degree of climate resilience. With a vast activity in the field, NIRDPSB Brasov and NIRDF "Marin Dracea", continue to provide results for the benefit of sustainable development and contribute to the fulfilment of EU objectives in terms of environment and climate.
