Agrifood Sustainability and Technology

By Prof (Dr ) Narendra Sharma

Climate change presents a significant challenge for the agrifood sector by altering weather patterns. It involves long-term variations in temperature and climate characteristics, often described as shifts in climate distributions over time relative to changing external conditions. These shifts may result from both natural factors, like solar cycle variations, and human activities. Although the precise impact of natural factors versus human contributions remains unclear, it is evident that since the 19th century, human activities-particularly the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas-have accelerated climate change. Given these challenges, the agrifood sector's importance extends beyond its economic value. It is crucial for sustaining life and supporting reproduction. Recent events have highlighted the integral connections between the agrifood sector, health, and overall wellbeing, underscoring the need for resilient and sustainable food systems to address these evolving challenges. This book on agrifood sustainability and technology is organized into nine detailed chapters, each addressing crucial aspects of modern agrifood systems and their environmental and technological implications.
