Scientists urge Moldovan agrarians to adapt production to climate change. The press service of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry reported that this was discussed at a meeting where the Ministry’s specialists together with scientists discussed how to choose the best crops for each region of the country depending on the local climate and soil.
During the discussions, scientists stressed the importance of adapting modern agricultural technologies and fertilizer application methodologies to increase productivity and reduce the impact of climate change.
“Scientists believe that properly used fertilizers can enhance plant resilience to drought. For example, in the south of the country, where rainfall is less, it is recommended to grow cereals, grapes and vegetables, especially with the help of an irrigation system,” the report said.
Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolea emphasized that “practices and technologies tested and shown by scientists are necessary to ensure the future of agriculture in the face of climatic and economic challenges.”
This year, the Ministry of Agriculture has intensified its collaboration with academia to prevent negative impacts from climate change.
