Abstract

The use of genetically modified (GM) varieties represents the best strategy to adapt to climate change. The use of quality function deployment (QFD) provides a simple tool for decision taking. The characteristics of water, soil, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are indispensable criteria in the selection of adaptation alternatives.
