The books deals with the critical issues of climate change and its
impact on agriculture and proposes climate smart agriculture as the
probable solution to this issue. It discusses the impact of climate
change and greenhouse gases emission on agriculture. It covers the
strategies and management options of climate smart agriculture by
including crop, water, soil, and energy management with examples
and case studies. The subject matter has been presented in a very
lucid language, containing real-time case studies, questions and
few solved problems in specific chapters. The text is further
enriched with simple line diagram and figures, chart, flow charts
and tables. The book is primarily intended for researchers and
professionals in the research areas of environmental science,
agriculture, soil science, etc.
The book Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases Emissions presents the
principles, practices along with key messages on different relevant
issues on climate change and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in
agriculture. The other important feature of the book is that
techniques of GHGs measurements at field level with examples are
presented which could be useful for practical studies. The book
should give students a good foundation in climate change studies
and inspire them to take up further studies in the advanced area of
environmental sciences. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute
the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka. This title is co-published with New India Publishing Agency.
The book deals with the pricing of ecosystem services provided by
agriculture. All provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural
services are being covered in this title. Chapters in this
contributed volume cover topics such as pricing of services from
the soil, water, and nutrient management. Quantified monetary
values of carbon sequestration and renewable energy applications in
agriculture are covered with clear-cut methodologies. This book
also links ecosystem service-based pricing with crop insurance.
Improving the farmers' livelihood is the central goal of the
agricultural production system throughout the world. Under the
climate change context, farms' produce is now climate-vulnerable
and heavily dependent on weather conditions. Moreover, we often
neglect the contribution of several positive impacts of
agricultural practices on ecosystems and natural resources.
Therefore, there is a need to quantify and value these ecosystem
services in agriculture. However, valuation and pricing the
services in agriculture both tangible and intangible is a
challenge. It is necessary to have clear-cut methodologies for
pricing ecosystem services of agriculture in terms of net monetary
benefits. The ecosystem service-based pricing could be a solid
basis for calculating the insurance to farmers in case of
occurrence of natural hazard and associated crop damage. This book
is of interest to scholars, teachers, researchers, environmental
scientists, watershed managers, capacity builders, and
policymakers. The book also serves as effective reading material
for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture economics,
ecology, agronomy, and environmental sciences. National and
international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find
this to be useful.
