Global climate change has created unprecedented challenges for
human civilization due to its widespread adverse consequences
including a reduction in crop yield and threatening food security
across the globe. Among the crop plants, legumes have great
potential for ameliorating global warming since they can reduce
carbon emissions by lowering reliance on the application of
chemical fertilizers, increasing nitrification and carbon
sequestration in soil, and by providing protein-rich diets to both
humans and livestock. This book identifies the extent of
climate-induced stresses on legume plants and focuses on achieving
food security through sustainable agricultural practices. This book
compiles recent research findings and reviews on climate-related
problems, the potential of legumes in ameliorating the impacts of
climate change as well as better management of agricultural land
and practices for achieving environmental sustainability and food
security. This book will serve as guidelines for scientists,
agricultural practitioners, and policymakers working to achieve
food security and better management of climate-induced stresses in
agricultural interventions. It will also be useful as a reference
book for researchers and students of both graduate and postgraduate
levels. Furthermore, this book will provide enhanced knowledge
about the mechanisms of yield and stress tolerance of legumes as
well as developing climate-smart crops and improving cropping
systems for a sustainable environment and food security. Features
of the book Reviews on trends of global climate change and its
consequences for food security across the continents Identifies the
challenges and scopes of cultivating legumes in achieving food
security in the context of global climate change Focuses on the
improvements of legume production through conservation approaches
in agricultural practices and modern techniques including
omics-based breeding, biotechnology, genetic engineering, and
rhizobium technology Discusses the sustainable amelioration options
for soils affected by climate-induced stresses Cites examples of
applications of rhizobium technologies in reducing greenhouse gas
emission Describes pathways associated with yield, resistance, and
tolerance of legumes to climate-induced stresses
