ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
Agriculture has long been the backbone of the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to its contribution to overall employment and ensuring food security for a large part of the population. Cereal production, especially wheat, forms the basis for providing food to the population, while corn production is crucial for livestock feed. It is anticipated that the impact of climate change on agricultural production will be largely negative, as water regimes change, and rising temperatures worsen existing challenges to agricultural productivity. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, floods pose the greatest threat to the community, but other natural disasters also cause significant damage to infrastructure, material assets, agriculture, and forests.
