The global food security and sustainable agriculture are the key
challenges before the scientific community in the present era of
enhanced climate variability, rapidly rising population and
dwindling resources. No part of the world is immune from
meteorological extremes of one sort or another posing threat to the
food security. Agrometeorology has to make most efficient use of
the opportunities available in achieving the objectives of
enhancing productivity and maintenance of sustainability. Increased
awareness and technological advancement have provided opportunities
to develop efficient agrometeorological services that can help cope
with risks. These include improvements in weather forecasting,
better understanding of the monsoon variability and crop-weather
relationships, advances in operational agrometeorology and
agrometeorological information systems, adaptation strategies to
climate change and improved risk evaluation and management. This
book based on an International Workshop held in New Delhi, India
should be of interest to all organizations and agencies interested
in agrometeorological applications.
