EN

Agricultural production is very sensitive to climate change, due to its natural nature. Farm owners wanting to limit the influence of this impact or to mitigate the effects, have introduced various adaptation measures. The aim of the article is to present the main effects of climate change on plant and animal production on farms and to show the possibilities and barriers to implementing adaptation measures. The article is a review study. The main effects of climate change impact include a reduction in the quantity and quality of production, weakening animal and plant resistance to diseases and pests, and reproduction problems. Adaptation measures are undertaken by farmers, but they can also be initiated by the farm’s external environment. The main challenges that farmers are facing include their adaptability problems and the way they perceive climate change and the risks associated with them.

Produkcja rolnicza jest bardzo wrażliwa na zmiany klimatu ze względu na swój przyrodniczy charakter. Właściciele gospodarstw, chcąc ograniczyć wpływ tego oddziaływania lub złagodzić skutki, wprowadzają różne działania dostosowawcze. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie głównych skutków zmian klimatycznych w produkcji roślinnej i zwierzęcej w gospodarstwach oraz prezentacja możliwości i barier wdrażania działań dostosowawczych. Opracowanie stanowi studium przeglądowe. Do głównych skutków oddziaływania zmian klimatu należy zaliczyć obniżenie ilości i jakości produkcji, osłabienie odporności zwierząt i roślin na choroby i szkodniki oraz problemy z rozmnażaniem. Działania adaptacyjne podejmowane są przez rolników, ale mogą być inicjowane przez otoczenie zewnętrzne gospodarstwa. Do głównych wyzwań, przed którymi stoją gospodarstwa, można zaliczyć ich problemy ze zdolnościami adaptacyjnymi oraz sposób postrzegania zmian klimatu i związanego z nimi ryzyka.
