Abstract
The article explores the philosophical foundations of climate change and sustainable agriculture, highlighting the importance of ethical and philosophical reflection in seeking sustainable solutions. It analyzes philosophical conceptions of the human-nature relationship, discusses the Anthropocene as a conceptual framework, and examines ethical principles of responsibility and environmental justice. The article also underscores the necessary integration of philosophical perspectives with other disciplines for a holistic understanding of environmental issues, calling for collective action and philosophical engagement to promote sustainability. Our exploration led us to the conclusion that individuals need to be made aware of the ethical issues associated with sustainable agriculture and climate change, in order to increase their responsibility and solidarity towards farming communities and ecosystems. By becoming aware of the urgency of the situation, individuals will be encouraged to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and support environmentally-friendly farming practices. This awareness should ultimately encourage the emergence of an active and committed citizenry. By informing and educating individuals about alternative solutions and positive initiatives in sustainable agriculture, as well as policies and measures to mitigate the effects of climate change, they are encouraged to take part in collective action and exercise their civic power to promote meaningful change. To achieve this result, logic, existentialism, the analytic tradition, and phenomenology were used as methods.
Key words: Philosophy, climate change, sustainable agriculture.
