It offers a comprehensive and topical collection of practices, technologies and innovations in the field of sustainable food production and security under a changing climate. It is a one-stop handbook for farmers, researchers, extensionists, policy makers and other stakeholders seeking to identify and disseminate best fit technologies for local and regional landscapes. It offers an understanding of the challenges, risks and uncertainties as well as opportunities to foster productive and sustainable food production. Smallholder farming and agriculture in general is facing a serious threat from climate change that has resulted in erratic and unpredictable rainfall and increased temperatures, among other abiotic stresses. These climate change induced pressures have reduced productivity mainly among the smallholder farmers, who are critical in driving the attainment of sustainable development goals like SDG 2,12 and 13. The objective of the book is to document effective and practicable practices and technologies that can be adopted by smallholder African farmers as mitigation measures against the effects of climate change. This book is of interest to researchers, agricultural scientists, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. 410 0$aSustainable Agriculture and Food Security,$x2730-6801 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aAgronomy 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aAgronomy. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aAgronomy. 676 $a338.16096 702 $aFanadzo$b Morris 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734882103321 996 $aTowards Sustainable Food Production in Africa$93403504 997 $aUNINA
