Some prediction models indicate climate change will have a more pronounced impact on Hungary than previously anticipated. Traditionally, Hungarian agriculture is based on dryland farming, with irrigated farming practiced in a few areas. Land degradation is a significant concern. However, the loss of arable land due to water scarcity could be more widespread. One potential solution is to irrigate, which could maintain soil fertility for decades. Utilizing modern irrigation techniques is a crucial approach to making irrigation as sustainable as possible while ensuring yield and quality. This study aims to provide an authentic picture of irrigation in Hungary, past and present. It also aims to provide suggestions for the near future, drawing on examples from abroad.
