Resumen
Descripción
The Republic of Serbia is a landlocked country in south-eastern Europe, in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. With fertile soils, good climatic conditions and a rich farming tradition, agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the country’s economy. However, the productive capacity of Serbian soils is decreasing due to salinization, acidification, erosion and compaction. Serbia is facing more frequent extreme climate and weather episodes, such as draughts and floods that cause significant economic losses and exacerbate land degradation. A significant increase of temperature is observed in the country, and a National Drought Plan was recently developed.
