Description for Climate Change and Crop Production (CABI Climate Change Series)
Hardcover. 320 pages, 50 illustrations. Editor(s): Reynolds, M.P. Trends in population growth suggest that global food production is unlikely to satisfy future demand under predicted climate change scenarios unless rates of crop improvement are accelerated. This book provides an overview of the essential disciplines required for sustainable crop production in unpredictable environments. Cateogry: (P) Professional & Vocational. BIC Classification: RNPG; TVK. Dimension: 254 x 181 x 24. Weight: 858.
Current trends in population growth suggest that global food production is unlikely to satisfy future demand under predicted climate change scenarios unless rates of crop improvement are accelerated. In order to maintain food security in the face of these challenges, a holistic approach that includes stress-tolerant germplasm, sustainable crop and natural resource management, and sound policy interventions will be needed. The first volume in the CABI Climate Change Series, this book provides an overview of the essential disciplines required for sustainable crop production in unpredictable environments. Chapters include discussions of adapting to biotic and abiotic stresses, sustainable and resource-conserving technologies ... Read more
