Integrated national-scale assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture: the case of the Czech Republic
Arbelaez Gaviria, Juliana ; Boere, E. ; Havlík, P. ; Trnka, Miroslav
In recent years, investigating climate change impacts in the agricultural sector at the national level has become a priority for adaptation decision-making. Most of these studies quantify the impacts\nof biophysical effects and often ignore the cross-sectoral interactions and economic effects on relative competitiveness, international trade, global food supply, and food prices for the Czech Republic. Ignoring future productivity changes globally under climate change scenarios can underestimate or overestimate climate change impacts at the national level. Here, we use GLOBIOM-CZE, a global economic model, as part of a climate change impact assessment framework to evaluate the impacts on the Czech agricultural sector in terms of environmental and economic indicators. By comparing with the baseline, the ensemble of scenarios suggests a decrease in crop area and production while increasing grassland, positively affecting livestock production by mid-century. Corn and barley show the most adverse response in production and area, while rapeseed increases under scenario RCP 8.5 with CO2 fertilization effect. Livestock products production is projected to increase, especially bovine meat and milk, as within RCP 8.5, no constraints are placed on growing greenhouse gas emissions.

Jelínek, Pavel ; Štica, Petr (advisor) ; Bouma, David (referee)
Pavel Jelínek Title of the thesis: A Christian view of ethical issues in agriculture Abstract: The work deals with the ethical issues of Czech agriculture. With the help of some indicators from the field of politics and sociology, the situation of Czech farmers is characterized, which can influence their ethical decisions. There are several facts that appear to be ethically problematic and require a certain position. Based on the analysis of some biblical texts and reflections on the relevant ecclesiastical documents, appropriate Christian attitudes are sought, with which it is possible to approach agriculture. The aim of the thesis is to indicate the contribution of the Christian attitude to ethical issues in agriculture, to design such an ethical orientation that will best correspond to Christian teaching in the context of current ethical dilemmas and to think about how to apply this orientation in practice. Keywords: Ethics in agriculture, social teaching of the church, soil protection, food production, environment, Czech agriculture
