Food Security and Climate Change integrates various challenges posed by changing climate, increasing population, sustainability in crop productivity, demand for food grains to sustain food security and the anticipated future need for nutritious quality foods. The book highlights individual factors responsible for changing climate, including rising carbon emission levels, increasing temperature, disruptions in rainfall patterns, drought, and their combined impact on planting environments, crop adaptation, production, and management. The role of plant genetic resources, crops breeding technologies, biotechnologies, and integrated farm management and agronomic good practices are included, and demonstrate the significance of food grain production in achieving food security during climate change. By casting a much wider net than most previously published books, to select novel approaches, techniques, genes from crop diverse genetic resources or relatives, this book shows how agriculture may still be able to triumph over the very threatening challenges of climate change.
