Climate Change And Agriculture NEW
The climate sensitivity of agriculture is uncertain,
as there are regional variations in temperature, rainfall, crops and cropping
systems and soil and management practices.
Understanding weather changes over a period of time and adjusting management practices towards achieving better harvest is a challenge to farming community and to the growth of agriculture sector as a whole.
Thus the impact on agriculture will be one of the major deciding factors influencing the future of food security.
Since agriculture is highly exposed to climate change, as farming activities directly depend on climatic conditions, it is one of the central arena in which threat posed by climate change must be confronted by research institutions, governmental and non-governmental agencies.
In turn, they also differ in their sensitivity to projected future changes in climate, significant improvements are crucial to increase climate-resilience need to be tailored to the specific needs.
This book will bring together a series of chapters that provide scientific insights to possible implications of projected climate changes mechanism and its impacts on agriculture crops, soil, biodiversity crop-pest interaction, climate models to analyze the impacts and various options for adaptive and mitigative management.
This thorough and timely volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring the concepts of climate change and its impacts on agriculture especially people in academia and the public sector, researche
