- Abstract
A climate change negative impact on agriculture is more likely than a positive one. There has also been an economic impact by raising food and grain prices as a result of extreme climate events in the main production regions, showing thus market sensitivity to climate extremes. Besides the impact in precipitation regime variation, there has been increased crop sensitivity to diurnal temperatures exceeding 30°C. Reducing climate change impact on an activity implies a series of actions of reducing consequences of certain process with sufficient information to anticipate specific forms of manifestation. In a more general context, efforts in this direction are considered part of climate change adaptation process. Adaptation can refer to several types: anticipative and reactive, private and public, autonomous and planned. In the process of elaborating a national strategy in this direction it is necessary to create a large enough information and knowledge support that would include options, action models, and also analysis results in terms of national agricultural area and the way in which climate change shall have an impact on agriculture
