Blue Planet: we must adapt to the challenges of climate change
If the environment changes, we can be sure of one thing: the farmers must also change – stressed István Nagy, Minister of Agriculture, to former head of state János Áder in his latest podcast, Kék Bolygó, published on Monday and available on the most popular video-sharing portal.
When asked by János Áder, chairman of the board of trustees of the Kék Bolygó Climate Protection Foundation, that today everyone is talking about the flood, but the summer of 2024 was about the drought, the heat alerts, the new and new heat records, and whether it is possible to know how much damage this year’s drought caused, István Nagy stated that this year’s drought was not comparable to the 2022 drought on a historic scale.
At that time, the extreme drought affected 1.2 million hectares, this year farmers reported drought damage on 390,000 hectares, including 160,000 hectares in the Southern Great Plain, he said. A solution to this problem must be found, but there is no single good solution, many complex solutions must be applied at the same time, he added.
According to him, many steps have been taken to mitigate the damage since 2022 and since the beginning of their administration, the most important of which is a change in attitude.
Dams are clearly needed during the flood season, but at the same time water must be conserved and managed, as a result of the creation of the legal background, the law on irrigation management states that irrigation is a public interest
he pointed to it.
