Food Security and Climate Change – eBook

This ebook Food Security and Climate Change (PDF) looks at the current state of food security and climate change, discusses the issues that are affecting them, and the actions required to ensure there will be enough food for all of us the future. By casting a much wider net than most previously published ebooks—to include select techniques, novel approaches, genes from crop diverse genetic resources or relatives—it shows how agriculture may still be able to triumph over the very real threat of climate change. Food Security and Climate Change integrates various challenges posed by changing climate, sustainability in crop productivity, increasing population, demand for food grains to sustain food security, and the anticipated future need for nutritious quality foods. It looks at individual factors resulting from climate change, including rising carbon emission levels, increasing temperature, disruptions in rainfall patterns, drought, and their combined impact on planting environments, production, crop adaptation, and management. The role of plant genetic resources, breeding technologies of crops, biotechnologies, and integrated farm management and agronomic good practices are included and demonstrate the significance of food grain production in achieving food security during climate change. Food Security and Climate Change is an excellent ebook for scientists, students, researchers, and policymakers involved in agricultural science and technology, as well as those concerned with the effects of climate change on our environment and the food industry.
