Il contributto affronta il tema del rapporto tra agricoltura e cambiamenti climatici in una prospettiva giuridica, in particolare al fine di individuare gli strumenti giuridici utili per ridurre le conseguenze dell'impatto del climate change sull'agricoltura. Particolare attenzione viene data al principio di precauzione per la tutela dell'ambiente.

Abstract

The climate change phenomenon can significantly affect the agricultural sector. Agriculture, indeed, is at the same time one of the causes of climate change, a sector among the most harmed by it and an opportunity to mitigate climate change. Even though scientists should care about climate change, a very important role is played by the law through the implementation of different legal tools. In particular, those tools range from command and control instruments, characterized by their mandatory nature, to market based tools. The last type, indeed, is very frequently used in the agricultural sector, in which it is important to promote autonomous sustainable production and environmental-friendly activity in order to guarantee for future generations the same resources that we have at our disposal.
