Abstract

Klimatske promjene, koje karakteriziraju porast globalne temperature, ekstremni vremenski događaji kao i degradacija okoliša, predstavljaju značajne izazove za ekosustave i ljudska društva. Sustavi bespilotnih zrakoplova (UAS - eng. Unmanned Aerial System) kao dio precizne poljoprivrede, imaju važnu ulogu u prilagođavanju posljedicama klimatskih promjena. Precizna poljoprivreda integrira tehnologiju, komunikacije i podatke i nudi transformativna rješenja koja bi mogla ublažiti klimatske promjene i njezine posljedice . U ovom radu su prikazana i istraživanja povezana s primjenom UAS-a o ovisnosti s klimatskim promjenama kroz pregled više od 70 literaturnih navoda. Posljedice klimatskih promjena negativno utječu na poljoprivredni sektor. Precizna poljoprivreda u potpomognuta mogućnostima koje pružaju bespilotni zrakoplovi donosi mnoštvo prednosti kroz povećanje prihoda, smanjenje ulaznih troškova i sredstava kao sto su pesticidi, mineralna gnojiva i fosilna goriva. Kroz SWOT analizu u ovom radu su prikazane trenutne i buduće snage, slabosti, prilike i prijetnje UAS-a u funkciji alata prilagodbe klimatskim promjenama u poljoprivredi. Politika EU-a prepoznala je važnost i podupire primjenu UAS-a kao dio strategije u borbi i ublažavanju posljedica klimatskih promjena i na taj način omogućava donošenje odluka za otpornu poljoprivredu budućnosti.

Abstract (english)

Climate change, characterized by an increase in global temperature, extreme weather events and environmental degradation, pose significant challenges for ecosystems and human societies. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS - eng. Unmanned Aerial System) as part of precision agriculture, have an important role in adapting to the consequences of climate change. Precision agriculture integrates technology, communications and data and offers transformative solutions that could mitigate climate change and its consequences. This paper also presents research related to the application of UAS on dependence on climate change through a review of more than 70 literature references. The consequences of climate change have a negative impact on the agricultural sector. Precision agriculture in the supported possibilities provided by unmanned aircraft brings many advantages through increasing income, reducing input costs and resources such as pesticides, mineral fertilizers and fossil fuels. Through a SWOT analysis, this paper presents the current and future strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of UAS as a tool for adapting to climate change in agriculture. EU policy has recognized the importance and supports the application of UAS as part of the strategy to fight and mitigate the consequences of climate change and thus enables decision making for resilient agriculture of the future.
