Abstract

Abstract The Albanian agriculture sector is deeply affected by climate change. To cope with climate change, it is necessary to understand its consequences. The views of agriculture extension service experts are crucial in improving farmers’ understanding and resilience, especially when farming practices are poorly adapted to the changing climate. This paper analyses the risks from climate change and the adaptive capacity of farmers based on an expert evaluation survey. The respondents identified prolongation of drought durations, rising temperatures, above-average occurrences of floods, pre-seasonal rainfall and frost as primary risks during recent years. Extension experts view a high (negative) impact from climate change through processes such as increased plant diseases occurrence, increased exposure to rodents, harmful insects and pests for plants and livestock, as well as forest and pasture degradation. The paper also provides experts’ opinions on the policy implications, such as considerations about adaptation strategies towards climate change.

农业对气候变化影响和适应的认识-阿尔巴尼亚的案例
摘要阿尔巴尼亚农业部门深受气候变化的影响。为了应对气候变化,有必要了解其后果。农业推广服务专家的观点对于提高农民的理解力和复原力至关重要,尤其是在农业实践难以适应不断变化的气候的情况下。本文在专家评估调查的基础上,分析了气候变化的风险和农民的适应能力。受访者认为,干旱持续时间延长、气温上升、洪水发生率高于平均水平、季前降雨和霜冻是近年来的主要风险。推广专家认为,气候变化通过植物疾病发生率增加、啮齿动物、对植物和牲畜有害的昆虫和害虫的暴露增加以及森林和牧场退化等过程产生了高度(负面)影响。该文件还提供了专家对政策影响的意见,例如对气候变化适应战略的考虑。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
