This book presents novel communication technology solutions to address the effects of climate
change and climate variability on agriculture with a particular focus on those that increase
agricultural production. It discusses decision support and early warning systems for
agriculture information technology (IT) supporting sustainable water management and land cover
dynamics predictive of crop production models and software applications for reducing the
effects of diseases and pests on crops. Further topics include the real-time monitoring of
weather conditions and water quality as well as food security issues. Featuring the
proceedings of the International Conference of ICT for Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change
(AACC'17) held on November 22-24 2017 in Popayán Colombia the book represents a timely
report and a source of new ideas and solutions for both researchers and practitioners active in
the agricultural sector around the globe.
