Global Environmental Change and Agriculture offers a comprehensive
perspective on the causes, consequences and possible policy
solutions for climatic change as we move into the twenty-first
century. It assesses the impact of potential future global climate
change on agriculture and the need to sustain agricultural growth
for economic development. The book begins by examining the role of
international research institutions in overcoming environmental
constraints on sustainable agricultural growth and economic
development. The authors then discuss how agricultural research
systems may be restructured to respond to global environmental
problems such as climate change and loss of genetic diversity. The
discussion then extends to consider environmental accounting and
indexing, to illustrate how environmental quality can be included
formally in measures of national income, social welfare and
sustainability. The third part of the book focuses on the effects
of and policy responses to climate change. Chapters examine the
effect of climate change on production, trade, land use patterns
and livelihoods. They consider impacts on the distribution of
income between developed and developing countries and between
different social classes within the developing world, where
agriculture remains a major economic activity. Authors take on an
economy-wide perspective to draw lessons for agricultural, trade,
land use and tax policy. This book will be of special interest to
agricultural, development and environmental economists as well as
policy analysts in government and at international agencies
confronting practical problems of environmental and economic
assessment.
