Climate Change Impact And Adaptation In Agricultural Systems (Hb 2014) Hardcover

This book focuses on the future impacts of global climate change and its effects on agricultural systems, which are the primary sources of goods and services for society. These systems, whether based on crop or livestock production, or a combination of both, vary across regions and levels of management intensity. As a result, their sensitivity to anticipated climate changes also differs, and strategies to enhance climate resilience must be customized to the specific needs of each system. The book compiles a series of chapters that offer scientific insights into the potential consequences of projected climate changes on various crop and livestock systems, along with a discussion of management options for adaptation and mitigation.
