Climate Vision: Data for the Agriculture of Tomorrow
Faced with the climate emergency, agriculture must anticipate major disruptions. Extreme events — droughts, frosts, heatwaves, storms, and floods — are becoming more frequent, threatening crops, yields, and food security. To tackle this challenge, Weenat developed Climate Vision, an innovative solution that helps agricultural stakeholders plan ahead to 2030, 2040, and 2050, considering local specificities and already observed climate events.
Through an agronomic approach focused on crop phenological stages, Climate Vision supports agricultural actors in anticipating the impacts of climate change and guiding their strategic decisions for sustainable farming.
This solution addresses essential questions such as:
How can production systems adapt to changing climates?
What is the feasibility of establishing a new agricultural sector in my region?
What will be the impacts on my current sector? Will a specific crop still be viable in a given area in 30 years?
Understanding tomorrow’s climate in Agriculture: a key response to future challenges
Climate change is already a tangible reality in the fields.
In France, recent climate disasters illustrate the magnitude of the phenomenon.
2021
Frost destroyed thousands of hectares, causing significant financial losses for farmers.
2022
The following year, a historic drought affected crop quality and yield.
2024
In 2024, excess water combined with a lack of sunlight compromised many agricultural productions.
According to the latest IPCC report, a +1.5°C temperature increase multiplies the probability of an exceptional heatwave by nine.
At +2°C, this risk becomes fourteen times higher.
These alarming figures show that the climate of tomorrow will not only be hotter but increasingly unstable, with growing intra- and inter-annual variability. Each agricultural region will need to adapt to these transformations to ensure resilience in the face of increasingly unpredictable climate conditions.
Objective: accurately simulate the impacts of future climate conditions.
In this context, Climate Vision emerges as an essential set of agro-climatic data for the agricultural world.
By integrating IPCC assumptions into our climate scenarios and enabling precise simulations of future climate impacts, this solution helps agricultural sectors anticipate risks and make informed decisions to protect their crops and investments.
Climate Vision Data: Weenat’s expertise serving the agriculture of tomorrow
Developed after two years of research, the Climate Vision solution is based on an in-depth analysis of climate data collected between 1979 and 2021. This information, covering over 1.8 million points in France, has built a unique database capable of simulating climate scenarios on a daily scale, projecting into 2030, 2040, or 2050.
This unprecedented precision sets Climate Vision apart from traditional climate models, which only offer a global view with resolutions spanning tens of kilometers.
Thanks to this innovation, farmers, cooperatives, and institutional stakeholders can access analyses that consider the local specifics of their soil, crops, and microclimatic conditions.
How to access Weenat’s Climate Vision data?
The agriculture of tomorrow is being shaped today. As a source of climate data, Climate Vision provides precise, tailored information. To go further and benefit from a customized study — what we call agro-climatic projections — you can model the climate’s impact on your region and crops.
Agro-climatic projections: a tailored study for your region
With Climate Vision, you gain access to precise agro-climatic data to better understand climate evolution in your area.
Our experts guide you in analyzing climate change impacts on your crops and help identify the most relevant adaptation strategies.
Whether you’re a farmer, cooperative, trader, or institutional actor, agro-climatic projections offer a customized study considering your crops, location, and specific challenges.
With this information, you can anticipate climate risks and make well-informed decisions for your region, sector, or crops.

« The climate projections for 2030, 2040, and 2050 are generated for each climatically homogeneous zone. The process is the same for each horizon.
For the 2040 horizon, for example, we generate 1,000 realistic and meteorologically plausible climate scenarios (including dry, hot, or wet years) for the years 2025 to 2054, using ‘Weather Generator’ techniques based on IPCC CMIP6 projections (SSP5-8.5 emissions scenario), which align with the current climate trajectory. »

How do Agro-climatic Projections work in practice?
Agro-climatic projections for Soft Wheat
Take the example of soft wheat.
In a region prone to water stress, agro-climatic projections can simulate the evolution of climate risks considering the crop cycle.
Thanks to this data, we estimate that water stress, currently observed one year out of eight, could occur one in four years by 2030 and one in two years by 2050.
This concrete information helps farmers make informed decisions: investing in irrigation systems, adjusting crop rotations, or introducing more drought-resistant varieties.
“Our method is precise and agronomic,” explains Pierre Giquel, agronomist at Weenat.
The tree steps:
This methodology provides tailored solutions to address local challenges, integrating the specific characteristics of each agricultural sector.
We simulate the evolution of daily temperatures at the territorial scale in 2030.
We calculate thermal sums, allowing us to determine key phenological stages of the crop, such as heading dates.
Finally, we cross-reference this information with rainfall projections to assess water stress risks in a warming climate context.
Agro-climatic projections in viticulture
A winegrowers’ group, for instance, can use agro-climatic projections to analyze changes in vine budburst dates.
If these dates become earlier due to rising temperatures, the risk of spring frost increases.
These insights then help winegrowers plan investments in frost protection equipment or consider introducing grape varieties better suited to new climate conditions.
With a localized, agronomic approach, Climate Vision’s agro-climatic projections position themselves as an essential tool to guide agricultural sectors through the climate transition.
A strategic vision for the future of agriculture and crops
The primary goal of Climate Vision is to give agricultural stakeholders long-term visibility, helping them secure their productions and maximize yields in an uncertain climate context.
By identifying critical periods for each crop and territory, the tool helps farmers to:
Optimize their farming practices
Plan equipment investments
Make strategic decisions based on precise, reliable data
Since its founding in 2014, Weenat has become a trusted partner for the agricultural world, providing connected tools and real-time agro-meteorological data.
With Climate Vision, Weenat extends its commitment by offering long-term solutions. By anticipating 2050 agriculture today, it supports agricultural sectors in their climate transition and sustainable development.
« Climate change is an increasing concern for farmers and their advisors. But industry professionals lack tangible data to assess the future climate’s impact on their operations. By helping them project 10, 20, or 30 years ahead, Agro-climatic Projections will provide the visibility needed to adapt strategies and protect activities. »

Frequently Asked Questions on Climate Vision
How does the agro-climatic projection service work?
Weenat’s agro-climatic projections rely on advanced climate and agronomic data analysis.
Based on 40 years of historical data and state-of-the-art climate models, this solution simulates high-resolution scenarios (1 km², daily scale) for 2030, 2040, and 2050.
It incorporates hundreds of climate and agronomic indicators to provide detailed projections, enabling agricultural stakeholders to anticipate climate change impacts and plan strategic decisions.
What will agriculture look like in 2050?
Agriculture in 2050 will face major climate challenges:
- More frequent extreme events (droughts, frosts, heatwaves)
- Increased risks for crops sensitive to water and heat stress
- Adaptation needs like introducing resilient varieties, evolving crop rotations, or investing in irrigation and frost protection
However, with data like Climate Vision, agricultural actors can anticipate these changes and optimize their practices to maintain sector resilience.
