Abstract

Globally and in Hungary, agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to weather and climate extremes. Intense temperature rises, spatial and temporal variations in precipitation, and significant changes in extreme climatological and weather parameters have contributed to changes in the conditions of cropland, crop losses, and crop quality in recent years. The aim of the research is to describe the transformation of the domestic agricultural sector due to the extreme drought shock of 2022 and to explore the adaptation strategies applied. The studies are based on their own agro-climate database and crop data. The results can help smallholders effectively reduce the adverse impacts, thereby increasing their adaptation to similar shocks.
