Description
This book takes a holistic approach to sustainable management of drylands to make agriculture drought-resilient.
Drylands, a home for nearly 2.5 billion people, are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, and dryland area may expand to 50% of the Earth's surface by 2100. Climate change may also aggravate the prevalence of undernutrition and malnutrition because of adverse effects on quantity and quality of food production in these regions.
In this book, eminent scientists from around the world share their knowledge and experiences for adaptation and mitigation of anthropogenic climate change through innovation in sustainable management of water, soil, crops, livestock, and fisheries. They anticipate that climate change will have major impacts on agro-ecosystems which require continuous dynamic assessments, globally, regionally, and at the local level where the major action of adaptation would have to occur. The assessment will require international cooperation and national capacity-building. This book emphasizes approaches such as smart and precision agriculture, conservat
