Climate change is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon, meaning that the
agronomic strategies needed are case-specific and will have regional
differences. This book provides an integrated view of the challenges and
opportunities that will face agriculture in the future as a result of
climate change. It discusses how the stresses resulting from climate
change can be overcome by assessing, measuring and predicting
environmental changes and stresses, identifying opportunities and
adapting to change and responding to multifactorial change. Challenges
and potential strategies that might be taken to overcome these are
illustrated using a number of case studies.
Climate change will pose many challenges to agriculture in the future,
but by taking an integrative approach to predicting and adapting to
change, this book will inspire researchers to turn those challenges into
opportunities.
