Sažetak
Nowadays, when climate change and extreme weather causes great economic losses, and more than a billion people starve in the world, food production is a strategic issue of each country. Therefore, to ensure sufficient food, it is necessary to apply the agrometeorological research in sustainable agriculture. The impact of climate change on agricultural production and development of adaptation strategies to climate change can help farmers in their management and adjustment. Those results may also help to policy makers in planning economic development. The great importance is to get feedback how agrometeorological products (e.g. agrometeorological forecasts, drought monitoring, warnings of sudden natural disasters or of wildfire risk, etc.) are usable to users in practice. Agricultural production should be strictly planned. For instance the agrometeorological measurements in plantations help in taking appropriate agricultural measures (planning of sowing and harvest, irrigation, protection of disease, etc.). Thus, more emphasis should be placed on multidisciplinary research between agrometeorologist and agronomist and brought closer agrometeorological knowledge to the end users. Likewise, by investing in agrometeorological research we disseminate timely information that would be profitable in many ways for the benefit of the development in food production, protection of forests, environment and nature which would in turn improve the rural area and initiate an economic development.
