In many countries, such as the four examined in Looking Beyond the Horizon, the risks of climate change are an immediate and fundamental problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for its livelihood.The risks of climate change to agriculture cannot be effectively dealt with-and the opportunities cannot be effectively exploited-without a clear plan for aligning agricultural policies with climate change, developingthe capabilities of key agricultural institutionsDirections in development (Washington, D.C.)World Bank e-Library.How climate change impacts and adaptation responses will reshape agriculture in Eastern Europe and Central AsiaCrops and climateEurope, EasternCrops and climateAsia, CentralClimatic changesEurope, EasternClimatic changesAsia, CentralCrops and climateCrops and climateClimatic changesClimatic changes632/.1Sutton William R.1967-1500403Srivastava Jitendra1940-89583Neumann James E.1962-1540593DNAL/DLCDNALBOOK9910779649103321Looking beyond the horizon3792351UNINA
