This book addresses an important topic of food security in South
Asia with specific reference to climate change. Of the 1 billion
food insecure people in the world, more than 30% are in South Asia.
The problem of food insecurity may be exacerbated by the projected
climate change especially because of the water scarcity caused by
rapid melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas and increase in
variability in monsoonal rains and frequency of extreme events.
Furthermore, large populations of Bangladesh and other coastal
regions may be displaced by sea level rise. Thus, this volume
addresses recommended land use and soil/water/crop/vegetation
management practices which would enable land managers to adapt to
climate disruption by enhancing soil/ecosystem/social resilience.
In addition to biophysical factors, this book also addresses the
issues related to human dimensions including social, ethnical and
political considerations.
