Summary: This project, financed by the Planetary Wellbeing initiative in 2020 had the objective of building a modern database of crop samples, grown in a controlled environment, to use as comparison for the reconstruction of long-term agricultural systems in drylands. The experimental station was built on the roof of the Merce Rodoreda building (Campus de la Ciutadella-UPF). This talk will explain the different phases to built up the experiment and its main results. The talk will finsih with a reflection on how this experiment has contributed to increase our knowledge about resilient agriculture in arid regions and how this fits within the Planetary Wellbeing framework.
