Never has human influence on the functioning of the planet been greater or in more urgent need of mitigation. Climate change, the accelerated warming of the planet's surface attributed to human activities, is now at the forefront of global politics. The agriculture sector not only contributes to climate change but also feels the severity of its effects, with the water, carbon and nitrogen cycles all subject to modification as a result. Crop production systems are each subject to different types of threat and levels of threat intensity. There is however significant potential to both adapt to and mitigate climate change within the agricultural sector and reduce these threats. Each solution must be implemented in a sustainable manner and tailored to individual regions and farming systems. This Special Issue evaluates a variety of potential climate change adaptation and mitigation techniques that account for this spatial variation, including modification to cropping systems, Climate-Smart Agriculture and the development and growth of novel crops and crop varieties.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscadaptation measuresagricultureagriculture productionanaerobic digestionAPSIMatmospheric phytoremediationBangladeshbioenergybiogasCanESM2chill accumulationclean energyclimate adaptationclimate changeclimate change adaptationclimate change impactsclimate change-induced impactsclimate-departureclimate-smart agricultureCO2 fertilizationCORDEXcorncost distributioncrop breedingcrop modelcrop suitabilitycrop-climate departurecrop-climate departuredrought-prone low landsEcocropEl NiñoENSOenvironment typeextreme value theoryextreme weatherfarmer acceptancefertilizerfood securityfuture crop yieldsgeographic informationGeorgiaGHGgreenhouse gas emissionsGuatemalaHadCM3hydroclimatic hazardincentive measuresincome distributionindustrial hempinland valley developmentLa Niñalife cycle assessmentlivelihood transformationlivelihoodsmanagement practicesmitigation techniquesn/aN2ON2ORnitrous oxide reductasenosZpeachesperennial cropsplanting monthprecipitationradiative warmingrenewable energy technologiesresiliencereturn levelricerice fieldriskrural Sidamasmallholder farmersSOIsoil waterSouth Carolinasouthern EthiopiaSouthern Oscillation Indexsoybeanssustainabilitysustainable rice productiontemperaturetransgenicvulnerable regionwater control structureweatherWest Africawinter wheat yieldBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agricultureLewis Kathyedt1338956Warner DouglasedtLewis KathyothWarner DouglasothBOOK9910674039203321Sustainable Agriculture for Climate Change Adaptation3059282UNINA
