Drought management in agriculture

We had a chat with Pekka Parkkila, who works at the ELY Centre of Southwest Finland and is specialised in water management and drought management. In this video, Pekka talks about what farmers should take into consideration when it comes to droughts and how to manage drought risks in agriculture. Pekka also talks about the current and future drought risk situation in Finland.
