AGRICULTURE AS A DRIVER FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
Abstract
If a few years ago climate change was a new and fanciful concept and not everyone was aware of its entire action range, today we are witnessing increasingly pronounced climate change. At the European Union level are many political initiatives in order to mitigate the climate change so the next generations to have the same changes to a good environment. All the efforts must be put into shifting the development to a more sustainable one. There are different drivers that interfere with the climate. Among energy, transport, industrial processes, waste, land use, we also find agriculture as a driver for climate change. In agriculture the livestock, the utilized agricultural area, the type of farms depending on the input level, the consumption of inorganic fertilizers influences the climate, either through green gas emissions, water and air pollution, desertification etc. So, we could say that there are many aspects of agriculture that influence climate change. In the work, a brief screening of the aspects of agriculture that have a negative impact on the environment at the level of the European Union was carried out.
