This book provides insights on innovative strategies to build
resilient food systems in the wake of challenges posed by climate
change. Providing food security to the growing population
especially in developing countries without exacerbating the
environment is a major challenge. Climate change is expected to
reduce agricultural productivity, leading to a decline in overall
food availability and significantly increasing the number of
malnourished children in developing countries. Interventions for
enhancing the adaptive capacity of farmers especially of small
holders needs immediate impetus. The policy formulation and
development programs must reorient in the wake of the new
expectations and deliverables. This book comprises of sixteen
chapters that discuss the trends in global agriculture development
and food system. The book highlights different aspects of household
food and nutritional security. The chapters covering diverse
aspects address food system, rural and urban food chain, factors
affecting their sustainability and short and long term solutions to
make them climate resilient. Important issues having significant
implications on climate change such as Waste management, Value
chain, Agri-marketing, etc. are also covered. The book would be an
important resource for researchers in food science, environmental
sciences and agriculture. It would also be beneficial for students
and future scientists working on sustainable agriculture and food
security.
