Abstract

Current population growth trends suggest that global food production is unlikely to meet future demand. However, according to projected climate change scenarios, this trend could be mitigated through the use of new drought-tolerant hybrids and sustainable management of crops and natural resources. Climate change is currently one of the main factors affecting agricultural production. These negative impacts are already evident, and projections indicate that this will only intensify in the coming years. This growing concern has sparked interest among domestic and international scientists in conducting detailed analyses of global warming and its effects on agricultural production. Agricultural producers will increasingly face the challenge of finding alternatives to reduce the negative effects of climate change. Agricultural production, particularly crop production, is essentially an 'open-air factory,' carried out in fields and thus highly susceptible to external environmental factors. The aim of this research was to examine the impact of climate parameters on sunflower yields from 2015 to 2023 in the Republic of Serbia. The study also assessed the effects of climate conditions on the economic outcomes of sunflower production, both under optimal growing conditions and in conditions where the effects of climate change were evident.
