Abstract

Agriculture is an important pillar for the population with a fundamental role in ensuring the food source for growing entities. Climate change is a confrontation with many challenges that manifest themselves through extreme phenomena manifested by high temperatures, heavy rainfall, hail and strong storms. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the structure of the specialized literature as a necessity in the scientific approach and to synthesize current research on the impact of extreme phenomena on the vegetable sector. The study is based on researching data from Web of Science sources where those that studied the impact of climate change on the vegetable sector were selected. The effects resulting from extreme phenomena are found on the yield and quality of products, affecting food safety.
