The Drying Plain: When farming becomes a gamble 2/6

In this episode, we look at how climate change is transforming Vojvodina, known for its endless plains and fertile soil.

We meet with farmers who are on the front line of climate change. For them, global averages and dire predictions for the end of the century are not abstract concepts, but concrete threats to their livelihoods in the form of increasingly hot, dry and extreme weather conditions.

This is the case in Hungary, where air masses of Arctic origin recently damaged fruit orchards, and in Vojvodina, where farmers have had to contend with four consecutive years of drought and shifting harvest seasons since 2020.
