This book looks at the current state of food security and climate
change, discusses the issues that are affecting them, and the
actions required to ensure there will be enough food for the
future. By casting a much wider net than most previously published
books--to include select novel approaches, techniques, genes from
crop diverse genetic resources or relatives--it shows how
agriculture may still be able to triumph over the very real threat
of climate change. Food Security and Climate Change integrates
various challenges posed by changing climate, increasing
population, sustainability in crop productivity, demand for food
grains to sustain food security, and the anticipated future need
for nutritious quality foods. It looks at individual factors
resulting from climate change, including rising carbon emission
levels, increasing temperature, disruptions in rainfall patterns,
drought, and their combined impact on planting environments, crop
adaptation, production, and management. The role of plant genetic
resources, breeding technologies of crops, biotechnologies, and
integrated farm management and agronomic good practices are
included, and demonstrate the significance of food grain production
in achieving food security during climate change. Food Security and
Climate Change is an excellent book for researchers, scientists,
students, and policy makers involved in agricultural science and
technology, as well as those concerned with the effects of climate
change on our environment and the food industry.
