Abstract | Introduction: Climate change and global warming have increased the intensity of droughts and their continuation. This phenomenon causes improper distribution of precipitation and the available water sources. Temperature and precipitation change under climate change and the agricultural products is affected by these two factors. Iran is the largest producer and exporter of saffron in the world, so that about 90% of the production and cultivated area of saffron in the world belongs to Iran. Meanwhile, 96% of Iran's saffron is produced in Khorasan. Saffron is one of the most efficient agricultural products in terms of water consumption, and it is considered an under-expected plant in terms of the need for nutrients. The aim of this research is investigating the changes in the water footprint of saffron under the past climate changes during the 2006 to 2017 in Khorasan region. |
