Good climate change adaptation practices of small agricultural enterprises in The Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Climate change in recent years for the Republic of Moldova represents one of the primary challenges for the state. Being an agrarian country, the well-being of the population, as well as of the country as a whole, is closely dependent on the performance of farmers. With the aggressive manifestation of heat waves there are truly catastrophic consequences. In recent agricultural seasons, some crops have been partially or totally compromised. Water shortages have been felt not only by farmers but by every citizen of the country. Both in the summer of 2023 and 2024, the government of the Republic of Moldova came out with appeals to the population to save water, and some activities that involved wasting water were banned. Climate change has also dried up lakes and rivers, and hot winds have hastened the drying out of plants. As a developing country, Moldova is feeling the full impact of climate change not only in the field but also financially.
