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.SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,2191-5547AgricultureClimate changeSustainable developmentPlant ecologyEnvironmental managementPlant scienceBotanyAgriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Plant Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Plant Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24000Agriculture.Climate change.Sustainable development.Plant ecology.Environmental management.Plant science.Botany.Agriculture.Climate Change Management and Policy.Sustainable Development.Plant Ecology.Environmental Management.Plant Sciences.630630Dubey Pradeep Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut895321Singh Gopal Shankarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autAbhilash Purushothaman Chirakkuzhyilauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910366628503321Adaptive Agricultural Practices2000221UNINA
