Sažetak
Currently we are living in the world characterised by a rapid changes of climate and increasing food demands for an ever-growing human population. The population growth, combined with rising incomes and urbanization, will impose great challenges to systems of food production and agriculture. On the other hand, the natural resources necessary to enable global food and agricultural production will not grow. Therefore, necessary production growth must be accommodated within the growing insufficiency of natural resources (land, water and nutrients). Furthermore, in order to minimize the impact of global food and agricultural production on environment, waste and greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions must be reduced. The global agriculture, and especially animal production sector significantly contributes to an anthropogenic GHG emissions, but at the other hand, it can also deliver a significant share of the necessary mitigation effort. If the goal is sustainable food production, it is necessary to design and implement cost- effective and just mitigation strategies. All the sector stakeholders, private and public sector, civil society, research and academia, and international organizations, have to be involved in problem solving. Mitigation actions implies well planned, effective and fair strategies and policies based on global approach. In order to enable sustainable agriculture and rural development European Commission proposed post- 2020 Common Agricultural Policy. The questions are: shouldn't we just "accept" climate change and a world with 9.6 billion people by year 2050? Could the forecasted events be altered?
