Abstract
Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture worldwide, with implications for
food security, livelihoods, and ecosystems. This review paper examines the impact of climate
change on agriculture and explores adaptation strategies for North Macedonia. The paper
synthesizes existing literature on the subject, drawing from peer-reviewed articles, academic
papers, and reports. The introduction provides an overview of the interconnectedness between
climate change and agriculture, emphasizing the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to
changing climatic conditions. The materials and methods section outlines the methodology
employed, including a systematic literature search, source selection criteria, data extraction,
analysis, and synthesis. Results and discussion focus on five key areas: crop adaptation, water
management, pests and diseases in crops, biodiversity, and agroforestry. Each subsection
discusses the challenges posed by climate change in these areas and explores potential
adaptation measures tailored to North Macedonian context. The conclusion highlights the
urgency of addressing climate change impacts on agriculture and emphasizes the importance
of adopting climate-smart agricultural practices. It underscores the need for collaborative
efforts between stakeholders to promote knowledge exchange, capacity building, and policy
interventions. This paper highlights the importance of adapting agricultural practices to
mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on food production and rural livelihoods in
North Macedonia. By embracing adaptation strategies, policymakers, farmers, and other
stakeholders can enhance resilience and ensure sustainable agricultural development in the
face of a changing climate.
