“…The pressure to adapt is greatest in poor countries, where this capacity faces serious problems [58,59]. Some adaptation measures seem easier to implement, building on existing technologies, but others need new technologies or policy reforms to encourage them [60,61].…”

“…Researchers are studying the effects of climate change, but most often they are not integrated into agriculture. The paper "Integrating Agriculture and Ecosystems to Find Suitable Adaptations to Climate Change" describes why ecosystem and agricultural adaptation must be taken from an integrated analytical perspective [59]. In some countries, climate change can represent real opportunities, as presented in the study "Climate change transformations in Nordic agriculture?".…”

Climate Change—Between “Myth and Truth” in Romanian Farmers’ Perception

The study analyzes the awareness of the effects of climate change on agriculture and the measures that should be implemented in this regard from the farmer’s perspective, taking into account the financial and promotional measures supported by the European Union for farmers. Thus, the study tracks the level of openness of farmers to implementing the measures that European policy makers will take in the coming period. Taking into account the fact that agriculture plays a particularly important economic role, due to the share of agricultural products in Romania’s total exports, particularly in plant production, a quantitative survey was carried out among Romanian farmers, using a questionnaire as an instrument, with a total of 407 respondents. The farmers interviewed undoubtedly recognize that the problems they face are caused by the effects of climate change and are willing to adapt, seek and implement the necessary solutions. The most problematic climatic phenomenon identified by farmers (71.5%) is drought, with negative effects on their activity. At the same time, 54.15% of the respondents believe that the effects of climate change are affecting their business through lower yields. Although the farmers interviewed are willing to implement solutions to combat climate effects, 80.34% of them are not considering revising cropping patterns, giving more importance to market demand than to practices that protect the environment. In conclusion, as long as farmers feel and understand the effects of climate change, it cannot be a myth, especially if they are willing to adapt to these challenges.

“…J., 2024: 726. doi: https://doi.org/10.54112/bcsrj.v2024i1.726] 2 crop production practices, such as conservation agriculture, crop diversification, and improved irrigation techniques, are critical for mitigating the adverse effects of drought and enhancing resilience to climate variability. Implementing climate-smart agricultural strategies, including the use of drought-tolerant crop varieties and efficient water management practices, is essential for ensuring food security and promoting agricultural sustainability in the face of climate change-induced challenges (Arif et al, 2020). Cotton, scientifically known as Gossypium, is a versatile and indispensable crop that has played a pivotal role in shaping human civilization for centuries.…”

One of the significant steps in developing water stress-tolerant, climate-smart cotton genotypes is evaluating and screening available cultivated germplasm. The current study was designed to evaluate the elite cotton strains developed for release in drought-prone areas of Punjab and Pakistan. Twenty-four cotton strains, along with two check varieties BH-184 and FH-142 were sown under RCBD in triplicates. The plant-to-plant and row-to-row distances were maintained at 30 cm and 70 cm, respectively. The recommended dosage of fertilizers N-P-K @ 100-36-37 kgs per acre was applied to all the treatments in all replications. The results revealed the presence of highly significant variations among cotton strains for studied plant parameters in twenty-four cotton strains. Correlation analysis unveiled the presence of highly significant and positive correlation of seed cotton yield with nodes per plant (r = 0.988**), sympodia per plant (r = 0.987**), transpiration rate (r = 0.983**), flavonoids (r = 0.982**), net photosynthetic rate (r = 0.979**), peroxidases (r = 0.968**), superoxide dismutase (r = 0.968**), bolls per plant (r = 0.914**), plant height (r = 0.885**), monopodia per plant (r = 0.725**) and ginning out turn (r = 0.430**) while the significantly negative correlation with CLCuV occurrence percentage (r = -0.526**). Cluster, principal component, and biplot analysis classify cotton strains into groups based on their performance under water-stress conditions. The results from PC1/PC2 biplot also verified the results obtained through correlations and further revealed that transpiration rate, net photosynthetic rate, peroxidases, superoxide dismutase, plant height, flavonoids, sympodia per plant, and superoxide dismutase were the most divergent traits and must be considered in developing a scheme to develop heat-tolerant cotton genotypes.

Since agricultural productivity is weather and climate-related and fundamentally depends on climate stability, climate change poses many diverse challenges to agricultural activities. The objective of this study is to review adaptation strategies and interventions in countries around the world proposed for implementation to reduce the impact of climate change on agricultural development and production at various spatial scales. A literature search was conducted in June–August 2023 using electronic databases Google Scholar and Scientific Electronic Library eLibrary.RU, seeking the key words “climate”, “climate change”, and “agriculture adaptation”. Sixty-five studies were identified and selected for the review. The negative impacts of climate change are expressed in terms of reduced crop yields and crop area, impacts on biotic and abiotic factors, economic losses, increased labor, and equipment costs. Strategies and actions for agricultural adaptation that can be emphasized at local and regional levels are: crop varieties and management, including land use change and innovative breeding techniques; water and soil management, including agronomic practices; farmer training and knowledge transfer; at regional and national levels: financial schemes, insurance, migration, and culture; agricultural and meteorological services; and R&D, including the development of early warning systems. Adaptation strategies depend on the local context, region, or country; limiting the discussion of options and measures to only one type of approach—"top-down” or “bottom-up”—may lead to unsatisfactory solutions for those areas most affected by climate change but with few resources to adapt to it. Biodiversity-based, or “ecologically intensive” agriculture, and climate-smart agriculture are low-impact strategies with strong ecological modernization of agriculture, aiming to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes while addressing the interrelated challenges of climate change and food security. Some adaptation measures taken in response to climate change may not be sufficient and may even increase vulnerability to climate change. Future research should focus on adaptation options to explore the readiness of farmers and society to adopt new adaptation strategies and the constraints they face, as well as the main factors affecting them, in order to detect maladaptation before it occurs.
