The vagaries of climate change and the associated production limiting
abiotic stresses is a hard truth which the humanity has to face in near
future. Drought, salinity, flood, nutrient imbalancesand extremes
temperature are among the major environmental constraints to crop
productivity worldwide. The increasing climatic variability and associated
stresses are likely to aggravate the problem of future food security and
may lead to highly fragile agri-production systems. The climate resilient
agriculture system is the need of the hour to have sustainable production
and reduced green house gas emission with less environmental footprints
of farming.
This book deals with highly pertinent and much discussed topic of climate
change and related recommendations on eco-friendly adaptation and
mitigation measures. This is an extensive compilation of latest scientific
information having 19 very well drafted chapters written in a lucid manner
by subject matter experts covering all facets of climate change and
associated abiotic stresses. The chapters particularly deals with the
impact of climate change on agri-production system, climate smart
agriculture, Indian monsoon, eco-friendly and efficient resource utilization
including water, conservation agriculture and agro-techniques for abiotic
stress mitigation and adaptation strategies to have sustainable
production. The book is also having additional information on mass
spectrometry, chromatography and mushrooms for agro- business.
The book is having easy to understand diagrams and pictorial depictions,
which enhance the quality of publication. It is a complete package of
information having immense utility to the scientific community, teachers,
researchers, extension personnel and other stakeholders involved in
climate resilient agri-production system.
