In recent years, especially with the approach of the 21st Session
of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change in Paris in late 2015, the number of
publications, conferences and meetings on climate change has been
growing exponentially. Yet uncertainties remain concerning rural
tropical areas where models are forecasting the onset of multiple
disorders and trends are unclear. Meanwhile, the impact of climate
change on the poorest communities is regularly documented, often
prompting alarmist reactions. How can food security be achieved
while adapting to and mitigating climate change? What are the main
threats to agriculture in developing countries? How do farmers in
these countries cope with the threats? What does agricultural
research propose? What options have yet to be investigated? A broad
scope of scientific research is underway to address these
challenges. Diverse solutions are available, including new
agricultural practices, water management, agricultural waste
recycling, diagnosis of emerging diseases, payment for ecosystem
services, etc. Gaining insight into the financial and political
mechanisms that underlie international climate negotiations is also
essential to design practical ways to deal with climate issues and
meet sustainable development requirements in collaboration with
farmers. This book pools the wealth of experience of dozens of
researchers and development officers from a range of disciplines.
We have focused on making it detailed, accurate and hopefully easy
to read for researchers, students and all other informed readers.
