Climate change, resulted from the rise in global temperature,
drives many stressors which make it difficult to predict the
outcome in a general way. However, impact of climate change is so
far more visible in agriculture than other sectors. Rise in
temperature causes oxidation of soil organic carbon and affect
biogeochemical processes and mechanisms, which make soil health and
productive potential of soils weaker. It also affects weather at
local regional and global scale, and hydrological cycle as well,
which result in drought, flood, cyclones etc. Simultaneously it
impinges directly upon reproductive biology of crops by reducing
pollen viability and making spikelets sterile, which result in crop
yield reduction. In India, impact of climate change on agriculture
is predicted to occur more in northern parts, where wheat
production may suffer losses of 4-5 million tons for each degree
rise in temperature. Rice, pearl millet, soybean are other crops in
that line. Globally, it has been predicted to have a huge burden in
future as the world needs to feed nine billion population by the
turn of the 21st century. Several techniques like conservation
agriculture, integrated farming, crop diversification and carbon
sequestration through agroforestry advocated helping climate change
mitigation and adaptation have been discussed in detail in this
book. Therefore, this book serves as a repository of information on
climate change, mitigation and adaptation in relation to
agroforestry, which can be useful to planner, researchers and
undergraduate and post graduate students pursuing studies in the
field of agricultural and allied sciences.
