conditions, such as the timing of flowering and physiological maturity, through correct descriptions of phonological responses to temperature and day length. Egypt
vision 2030 stated that “Knowledge, innovation, and scientific research contribute in
achieving the goals of sustainable development in general, whether national or international, where the increase in the contribution of a large number of economic sectors
in economic activity can be achieved by connecting scientific research outputs and
innovation by the needs of these sectors”. The Egyptian research system is making
great effort to overcome challenges related to innovation, and scientific research and
already making big progress with regards to assessment of the climate change impact
on Egyptian agriculture as well as suggesting scientific climate change adaptation
measures.
