Journal Title: Roczniki Naukowe Stowarzyszenia Ekonomistów Rolnictwa i Agrobiznesu - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 5
Abstract
Agriculture is one of the major anthropogenic contributors to climate changes and, at the same time, the one that can be seriously affected by the results of these changes, extreme weather conditions in particular. This paper presents the perception of climate change and its potential influence on the agricultural holdings of farmers, based on the survey conducted in łęczyński county (125 respondents). According to the survey, 39% of farmers believe that both human activity and natural environmental processes are equally responsible for climate changes. 37% of respondents claimed that climate changes are caused by human activity, while 24% of the surveyed farmers attributed those changes to natural environmental processes only. The vast majority of respondents is concerned that a possible consequence to the occurring changes may be increased costs of agricultural production (69%) and lowered standards of living (61%). The conducted survey proved high awareness of the need to protect the environment and soil among the farmers. 73% of them considers environmental regulations to have a positive impact on the agriculture and its future, but also to increase the work input of farmers and reduce their incomes.<br/><br/>
