A paper published in the prestigeous scientific magazine PNAS (the official magazine of the National Academy of Sciences) has analysed global patterns of irrigation, water demand and availability in 3 °C warmer climates. The main researcher has been Lorenzo Rosa, Alumnus of the Politecnico and researcher of the ETH Zurich, in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria of the  Politecnico di Milano (DEIB).

The study, with the title “Potential for sustainable irrigation expansion in a 3 °C warmer climate”, a has analysed global patterns of irrigation, water demand and availability between 1.5 and 3 °C warmer climates, and has the objective of finding adapting strategies of irrigation with the goal of protectin the water reservoirs. These strategies could increase fields productivity to feed one billion and 400 thousand people more.

In 2020 Lorenzo Rosa has been selected by Forbes in the list of “30 under 30” young innovators in the field of science&healthcare..
