Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture: Concepts, Issues and Policies for Developing Countries

This book offers perspective on climate change impacts on developing nations from scholars within those nations, primarily focusing on agriculture. Throughout three parts containing a total of over twenty chapters from scholars in developing countries, it aims to offer guidelines for researchers, policymakers, and farmers themselves on how developing countries can achieve sustainable food security and continue development on a sustainable basis.
Part I covers climate change concepts and issues for developing countries; Part II covers social issues surrounding climate change and agriculture; Part III addresses practical policies that can be implemented to work toward achieving the goals described above. Agriculture is a key sector in developing countries in terms of economic growth and social well-being of the poor countries. Adapting and building resilience to climate change means increasing agricultural productivity and incomes and reducing greenhouse gases emissions. This is an approach to apply the technical, policy and investment measures to achieve sustainable agricultural growth in the sectors of grain, fruit, vegetable, fiber, feed, livestock, fisheries and forest under climate change.
