Abstract
The climate is a system that is constantly changing due to solar and volcanic activities, astronomical parameters, and also due to the increase of human activities throughout the last century. Human activity increased the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and caused a temperature rise. Measurements show that the warming is more pronounced over the land than over the sea, i.e. it is stronger over Europe, North America, and Asia; than over Australia, Africa, and South America. In the Republic of Croatia, the increase in temperatures is more pronounced on the coast than in the continental parts of the country, but this increase on the coast is manifested in the warm part of the year, while in the inland areas, the increase is manifested during the winter period. This increase in temperatures in the winter part of the year affects the producers of domestic ham and other dried meat products in the continental part of the country. In traditional ham production, the producers usually placed ham for ripening in the attic spaces of houses, where there was a satisfactory air flow, relying on the influence of nature, i.e., the climate of that part of the year. In traditional ham production, the producers usually placed ham for ripening in the attic spaces of houses, where there was a satisfactory air flow, relying on the influence of nature, i.e. the climate of that part of the year. Given that climate change is already present and that it directly affects the agricultural sector, this paper aimed to show how these changes affect the long-standing traditional production of ham and how it is necessary to introduce production changes in the future.
