Abstract

Poboljšanje održivosti poljoprivrednih sustava može biti mjera ublažavanja klimatskih promjena na Mediteranu. Gospodarenje jednom kulturom pretjerano iskorištava resurse dok se agrošumarstvom postiže održivost između stabala, usjeva i životinja kako bi se raspoloživi resursi što učinkovitije iskoristili. Klimatske promjene će na različite načine utjecati na Mediteran, istraživanja predviđaju da će regija postati suša i toplija s češćim prirodnim nepogodama. Sistem uzgoja stabala u kombinaciji s poljoprivrednim kulturama ili pašnjacima, od kojeg se, gledano s ekološke strane, može imati dugoročne koristi u ruralnim i urbanim krajolicima, može smanjiti ranjivost poljoprivrede i ljudi na klimatske nepogode. Agrošumarstvo može povećati plodnost tla, smanjiti eroziju, poboljšati kvalitetu vode, poboljšati biološku raznolikost, povećati sekvestraciju ugljika. U ovom radu su opisane uobičajne agrošumarske prakse europskog djela Mediterana te njihov pozitivan utjecaj na okoliš, s ciljem promoviranja takvih održivih sustava.

Abstract (english)

Improving the sustainability of agricultural systems can be a way to mitigate climate change in the Mediterranean. Monoculture overexploits resources while agroforestry achieves sustainability between trees, crops and animals in order to make the most efficient use of available resources. Climate change will affect the Mediterranean in different ways. Research predicts that the region will become drier and warmer with more frequent natural disasters. The integration of trees, agricultural crops, and/or animals into an agroforestry system has the potential to have long-term benefits in rural or urban landscapes and can reduce the vulnerability of agriculture and people to climate disasters. Agroforestry can enhance soil fertility, reduce erosion, improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon. In this paper, I outline the common agroforestry practices in the northern part of the Mediterranean as well as their beneficial environmental effects.
