This brief explores several adaptive agricultural practices from around the world to fulfill
current and future agricultural demands for food security due to the challenges posed by
climate change and growing global population. Readers will discover how farmers adapt to
environmental changes by adopting various agronomic practices at crop farm and landscape
levels. Particular attention is given to systemic and transformational adaptation strategies
employed by farmers such as mulching organic farming and crop diversification. This is a
highly informative and carefully presented book that provides insights on how crops can build
up resilience against periods of drought high salinity disasters such as floods and
diseases. The policy implications and future prospects of these adaptation strategies are also
addressed. Environmental and plant scientists agronomists and researchers in climate sciences
will find this book interesting.
