About the Book: Agriculture and Climate Change : Impacts and Solutions
In this book, we have covered all aspects related to agriculture and allied
activities such as animal husbandry, fisheries, agro forestry and horticulture,
etc. under changing climate regimes. Agriculture and allied activities is highly
dependent on climate. The increased level of CO2 and temperature in the
ecosystem could pose challenges to farmers and threatens food grain productivity
and food security. Changing climate could render the outbreak of weeds, new
pathotypes and insect pests in agricultural fields. Water balance and
productivity may also be reduced which will affect the agriculture
sustainability due to lack of water availability
