Biodiversity, climate and agriculture – an interconnected system

Agriculture and rural areas are facing a major challenge in adapting to current environmental conditions. As the climate is changing, sustainable crop management and rational land use become essential to guarantee sustainable agricultural production each year and to maintain a low environmental and climate impact from agricultural activities. To prevent and reduce the effects of extreme events, it is essential to ensure that water resources and agricultural production are constant. These phenomena have led, on the one hand, to an increase of environmental protection efforts, and on the other hand, to the development of organic farming, which is one of the most efficient and concrete modalities to protect the environment. The importance of the European Green Deal for Romania is huge, starting from the way of financing agriculture with EU funds conditional on the implementation of environmental measures, the increase of agricultural area under organic farming, the implementation of the Farm to Fork Strategy and the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy. The paper explores how biodiversity, agriculture and climate change are interconnected, highlighting challenges and possible solutions for sustainable management.
