István Nagy: Hungary is committed to the fight against climate change
In his speech, the minister explained that last year made even the most skeptical Hungarian farmers aware of the seriousness of the damage caused by the drought, as the drought and lack of rainfall destroyed 30 percent of the total agricultural land.
Hungary is therefore even more committed to being part of the US Department of Agriculture’s AIM for Climate initiative, which brings together member states committed to agricultural climate research. The fact that eight university faculties and five research institutes indicated that they are currently implementing more than 200 related research and innovation projects worth 50 million dollars clearly shows the commitment of Hungarian agriculture.
Their activities are primarily focused on the development of water and soil management techniques for arable crop production. The current project mix reflects the importance of agriculture, but private and European funding must also be increased, added the head of the ministry. István Nagy also touched on the fact that we also support digital innovation in public administration, for example the use of a new remote sensing evaluation tool for our state risk management system. He emphasized that international cooperation is also of utmost importance to us.
