Handbook Of Climate Change And Agroecosystems: Impacts, Adaptation, And Mitigation

This handbook explores the impacts of climate change on agroecosystems, focusing on adaptation and mitigation strategies for global food security.

The Handbook Of Climate Change And Agroecosystems: Impacts, Adaptation, And Mitigation provides a comprehensive overview of the research surrounding climate change and its effects on agroecosystems. With climate change driven by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, the consequences are expected to reverberate throughout the biosphere, impacting all forms of life, including agriculture and global food security. Understanding these impacts is critical as it necessitates a collaborative approach among scientists from various disciplines to address the complex interactions at play.

This handbook emphasizes the importance of trans-disciplinary cooperation to devise effective strategies for both mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to unavoidable climate changes. By presenting current research findings, the Handbook Of Climate Change And Agroecosystems aims to illuminate the intricate relationships between climate change and agricultural systems. It serves as the inaugural volume in a series dedicated to exploring these interactions across different sectors and systems, ultimately fostering effective responses to the pressing global challenge of climate change.

As knowledge about the processes and responses to climate change continues to evolve, future volumes in the series are anticipated to delve into significant aspects of this topic. The ongoing research and discussions will contribute to a deeper understanding of how to protect agroecosystems and enhance food security in the face of climate change, ensuring that vital resources remain sustainable for future generations.
