The modern world is faced with the challenge of feeding an exponentially growing population, multiplied by the increasingly perceptible changes in climate, the effects of which vary according to socio-economic, geographical and ecological conditions. Climate change has been both a manifestation and an effect of the development of the biosphere, which has influenced the evolution of our civilization. It is necessary to postulate an intensification of research on the integration of environmental and climate change adaptation issues in legal and agricultural regulation. The planned research will provide opportunity to verify the hypothesis that the regulation of environmental conditions for agriculture is evolving from specific solutions, protecting the availability of basic natural resources for agricultural production, to a more systemic approach in which agricultural inputs are treated as part of the biosphere and climate change-adapted agriculture must meet the growing food needs of a growing world population.
