Natural change in climate is slow and takes millions of years; and
it is known to have made our planet hospitable to live. The climate
change is not limited to one country or a continent. It is
occurring across the globe as evident from droughts in Texas and
flooding along the Missouri River in the United States and along
the Red River in Canada. Climate change drives many stressors and
interacts with many non-climatic stressors which make it difficult
to forecast outcomes in any general way other than existing threats
to agriculture. Agroforestry increases a high level of diversity
within agricultural lands which supports numerous ecological and
production services that bring resilience to the impact of climate
change mitigation and adaptation. Climate change risk management is
difficult in annual cropping systems due to increasing uncertainty
of inter-annual variability in rainfall and temperature. Mixing of
woody trees with crops, forage and livestock operations provides
greater resilience to the inter-annual variability through crop
diversification and increased resource use efficiency. Deep rooted
trees allow better access to nutrients and water during droughts
and when appropriately integrated into annual cropping systems and
extract from different resource pools that would otherwise be lost
from systems. Agroforestry increases soil porosity, reduces runoff
and increases soil cover, which improve water infiltration and
reduces moisture stress in low rainfall years. During periods of
excessive soil moisture, tree based systems keep soils aerated by
pumping out excess water and offer an economic return. The book
contains 36 chapters mainly on agroforestry practices found in
India and its role in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
