Conservation agriculture is a sustainable production model that not
only optimizes crop yields, but also reaps economic and
environmental benefits as well. The adoption of successful
conservation agriculture methods has resulted in energy savings,
higher organic matter content and biotic activity in soil,
increased crop-water availability and thus resilience to drought,
improved recharge of aquifers, less erosion, and reduced impacts
from the weather associated with climate change in general.
Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change examines several important
aspects of crop production, such as climate change, soil
management, farm machinery, and different methods for sustainable
conservation agriculture. It presents spatial distribution of a
daily, monthly and annual precipitation concentration indices,
Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for
analyzing the organic matter in soil, and adaptation strategies for
climate-related plant disease scenarios. It also discusses solar
energy-based greenhouse modeling, precision farming using remote
sensing and GIS, and various types of machinery used for
conservation agriculture. Features: Examines the effects of climate
change on agriculture and the related strategies for mitigation
through practical, real-world examples Explores innovative on-farm
technology options to increase system efficiency resulting in
improved water usage Presents examples of precision farming using
climate-resilient technologies
