On the occasion of the launch of the CLIAVE project, Dr. Ljiljana Samolovac was a guest of the agro-show “Plodno i rodno” on B92 television, where she spoke about the importance and impact of climate change on agriculture. On that occasion, the importance of this interaction in the field of animal husbandry was particularly highlighted, as well as the need to raise awareness and strengthen the competencies of all employees in the agricultural sector, including future experts – students, through projects such as CLIAVE.

The close out meeting of the projects of the Ministry of Agriculture on the conservation of genetic resources in Serbia served as a great opportunity to promote the CLIAVE project. Indigenous breeds can play a significant role in mitigating and adapting to climate change, which was emphasized at this meeting. The meeting was held on September 19, 2022 at the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering (IMGGI) of the University of Belgrade, in the presence of representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, agronomists, students and researchers who were invited to follow the project’s activities through the website and social networks.

At the very beginning of the new academic year, on September 13, 2022, at the Faculty of Agriculture-University of Belgrade, a meeting was held to which students and experts from the advisory services of Serbia were invited to learn about the CLIAVE project. After the presentation of the project, brochures were distributed to the attendees and they were informed about the possibilities of following news through the website and social networks.

Agronomists and farmers from four regions of Serbia were introduced to the initiation and details of the CLIAVE project at promotional events as part of workshops held from September 7 to 9, 2022, in agricultural advisory services in Vranje, Leskovac, Pirot and Knjaževac. The vocational and general public was informed about it through the local media.

The Institute for Animal Husbandry is one of the partners in the Erasmus+ project CLIAVE – Climate-focused Agricultural Vocational Education, which is dedicated to the impact of climate change in the field of agriculture.

The project started on February 28, 2022. and, will last until August 27, 2024. The coordinator of the project is the Atatürk Horticultural Central Research Institute from Turkey, and the partners are the Institute for Animal Husbandry and other relevant scientific institutions from the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia and Turkey. The most important result of the project will be the creation of the CLIAVE Learning Management System C-LMS, the use of which should lead to rapid acquisition of knowledge among agricultural experts and students.

On climate change and agriculture:

Climate change is one of the most important issues facing the world today, and agriculture is considered one of the sectors that can be significantly affected by it. The impact of climate change on agriculture takes place through the atmospheric effect of elevated CO2, temperature rise, changes in precipitation and transpiration regimes, frequent occurrence of pests and various diseases. The consequences for agriculture are already severe, but these impacts are predicted to grow over time, with potentially devastating effects. Along with the trend of global population growth and thus increased food requirements of about 70%, it is possible that the world will face a complete food crisis. The relationship between agriculture and climate change is actually two-way, and agricultural production itself significantly affects climate change. For example, animal husbandry is a direct source of methane and nitrogen oxides, but also an indirect source of these gases and CO2 through farming and food production. It is estimated that the share of animal husbandry in the total emission of harmful gases (GHG) is about 14.5%, with participation of 37% and 65% respectively in the global emission of methane and nitrogen oxide. That is why timely and strong action in the implementation of measures that will enable adaptation and mitigation of the effects of climate change is important. Education of agricultural experts and students on the application of “smart” climate practices in agriculture is therefore a necessary prerequisite in order to strengthen the competences, knowledge and awareness of professional staff and promote the use of these practices.
