Uruguayan President Jose Mujica on Thursday said that the agro production system in the country needs reserves to face the extreme climate phenomena such as droughts or flooding.
"We cannot predict the climate change disasters, but we can manage them with prudence and have resources to start again," Mujica said during his weekly radio program.
An agro exporter country like Uruguay "it is obvious" that we have to stress on the water and food reserves, for the human and animal consumption, he said.
"Each one with his possibilities can do something and the best is to be
ready always to face the worse; not to cry and start again," he said.
Between buying a new car and "have a reserve, I would suggest them to think about even four times," he added.
"What happens in the world is very devastating," said Mujica. "We are in a different time."
