Adaptacija na klimatske promene u sektoru poljoprivrede - predlog mera racionalnog upravljanja

Abstract

Agriculture, as one of the most important branches of economy, depends on climate conditions and has a significant contribution to climatic changes process, primarily by releasing greenhouse gases (GHG). It is estimated that agriculture directly emits about 9% of the total amount of GHG, of which 5% originates from soil and about 4% from livestock production (ruminants). Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from cultivated soil are 27% to 90% higher compared to natural grasslands. For greater climate neutrality of agriculture, two-way action is necessary: towards the reduction of GHG and towards the sequestration of carbon in the soil. Recommended measures and practices in the management of organic carbon content in soil include a wide range of agronomic, biological, technical and technological procedures, management and structural practices on agricultural soil. By encouraging organic plant production, which should contribute to maintaining and increasing the natural fertility of the soil, as well as preserving and improving biodiversity and stabilizing the structure of the soil, it can contribute to mitigating climate change.
