Abstract

Este articulo trata de las consecuencias del cambio climatico para la agricultura del presente y del future. El problema fundamental del presente es la necesidad del sector agrario (entre otros) de reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y de aumentar la capacidad para secuestrar dioxido de carbono, es decir, de mitigacion del cambio climatico. En el futuro, aunqie la mitigacion continue siendo importante, el principal problema sera de adaptacion a unas condicioens diferentes. A pesar del progreso de la comunidad internacional para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (politicas de mitigacion del presente), el sistema climatico continuara su ajuste a las emisiones actuales, con efectos inevitables para los sistemas naturales o intervenidos por el hombre. La agricultura debe prepararse para los condiciones cambiantes, responder a ellas y tener la capacidad para recuperarse de sus impactos (politicas de adaptacion en el presente y en el futuro). El reto es definir una combinacion optima de los compromisos de mitigacion por parte de la agricultura y de las necesidades de adaptacion de la produccion de alimentos...This article addresses the consequences of climate change for agriculture in the present and in the future. In the present, the main challenge of the agricultural and food sector is to control greenhouse gas emissions, that is: mitigation of climate change. In the future, mitigation will remain important, but a main problem will be adaptation to different conditions. The international community is making an effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (current mitigation policy), but climate will continue to adjust to the current level of atmospheric gases, with unavoidable risks to natural or managed systems. Agriculture needs to be prepared for never-experienced conditions, respond to them and recover from their impacts. The response needs to be triggered by adaption policy in the present and in the future. The challenge is to define an optimal combination of mitigation and adaptation policies for agriculture and food production.
