Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the impact of changing climate on agriculturalproduction and to provide an overview of possible adaptation measures to copewith changing climate. To estimate the impact of climate indicators on wheat yieldsthe multivariate regression model was used and to describe the ways of adaptationto changed climate, information obtained through a guided interview withthe representatives of an agricultural farm operating in Slovakia was analysed. Alldata represent the Levice District in Slovakia, covering the period between 1997and2019. Our analysis revealed that climate change indeed has a significant impacton agricultural production. The highest positive impact on yield is attributed tothe average maximum temperature, while the inverse effect was observed in the caseof the average minimum temperature. On the other hand, the impact of wind did notprove to be significant.
