Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Global climatic change has resulted in new and unpredictable
patterns of precipitation and temperature, the increased frequency
of extreme weather events and rising sea levels. These changes
impact all four aspects of food security - availability,
accessibility, stability of supply and appropriate nourishment - as
well as the entire food system - food production, marketing,
processing, distribution and prices. Climate Change and Food
Security focuses on the challenge to food security posed by a
changing climate. The book brings together many of the critical
global concerns of climate change and food security through local
cases based on empirical studies undertaken in Sub-Saharan Africa
and the Caribbean. Focusing on risk reduction and the complex
nature of vulnerability to climate change, the book includes
chapters on the responsiveness of farmers based on traditional
knowledge, as well as the critical phenomenon of food insecurity in
the urban setting. Other chapters are devoted to efforts made to
strengthen resilience through long-term development, with
interventions at the regional and national levels of scale. It also
examines cross-cutting themes that underlie the strategies employed
to achieve food security, including equity, gender, livelihoods and
governance. This edited volume will be of great interest to
students and scholars of climate change, food security,
environmental management and sustainable development.
"The Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in the United Kingdom on
June 22, 1948, carrying the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the
first post-war generation of Caribbean migrants who left their
homeland in search of a better life. Freedom and Constraint in
Caribbean Migration and Diaspora explores the contemporary nature
of migration, the socio-economic, political and cultural impact of
such movements, while highlighting the varying discourses that
arise. Race, transnationalism and the emerging concept of Diaspora
are all examined providing insight for the academic,
decision-maker, student and all those interested in migration
studies. As a selection of contributions made at the June 2006
conference at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Caribbean
Migration: Forced and Free, this volume represents the experience
of the entire Caribbean region: Anglophone, Hispanophone,
Francophone and Dutch. With authors from across the Caribbean and
beyond, it offers some contrasting perspectives on current issues
related to movement, return and resettlement. "
