Adaptation strategies of agriculture to climate change and natural disasters

Abstract

Climate change and agricultural production are processes characterised by substantial mutual influence. Global warming threatens the productivity of agricultural production and food security on a global scale. The purpose of the study is to develop practical adaptation strategies for the impact of climate change and natural disasters on agroeconomic processes. The study uses general scientific methods of cognition: system analysis and synthesis, concretisation, deduction, generalisation, abstraction, and formalisation. In the course of the study, the main factors of the impact of climate change on the agroeconomic sector of production are identified, preventive measures and measures to level climate risks are systematised. Based on the conducted research, a system of tools is developed as part of the strategy for adapting agriculture to climate change and natural phenomena, and the main approaches to assessing the cost of natural disasters for agroeconomics are recommended. The main measures to optimise the ecological and economic situation in the agronomic sector in the context of global warming and effective measures to prevent large-scale losses are developed. The results obtained can be used to conduct research on the dynamics of economic processes during global climate change, develop an appropriate adaptation strategy at the regional and national levels, and form an integrated approach to assessing the cost of natural disasters
