Aprašymas

Climate change stands as one of the defining challenges of our time, casting a long and ominous shadow over global food security. As we witness the intensification of extreme weather events, shifts in precipitation patterns, and the inexorable rise in temperatures, the impact on agriculture becomes increasingly evident. In the face of this existential threat, the need to develop and implement climate-resilient agricultural practices has never been more urgent.

This new book, Climate-Resilient Agriculture for Sustainable Crop Production: New Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies, addresses the intricate nexus between climate dynamics and the intricate tapestry of global agriculture. Assembling the insights of eminent scholars, researchers, and dedicated practitioners, this book presents and explores innovative solutions and fosters a deeper understanding of how we can cultivate resilience in the face of a changing climate.

The chapters encompass the latest advancements in crop science, the deployment of cutting-edge technologies, and the development of sustainable farming practices. From the micro-level intricacies of crop genetics to the macro-scale considerations of global food systems, the book illuminates the multifaceted dimensions of climate-resilient agriculture. Importantly, the book emphasizes not only the adaptation strategies required to withstand climate impacts but also the mitigation measures essential for creating a more sustainable agricultural future.

Topics in the book cover artificial intelligence and robotics in climate-resilient agriculture; sustainable approaches in natural and organic farming, along with the economic viability and market prospects of each; the implications of site-specific nutrient management (SSNM); climate-smart extension services; and much more.

Transcending disciplinary boundaries and offering a holistic perspective that integrates diverse fields such as agronomy, climatology, genetics, and socioeconomics, this volume provides a comprehensive resource that can guide both researchers and practitioners in navigating the complex challenges posed by climate change to global agriculture.
