• Sommario/riassunto: This contributed volume dives into the critical intersection of climate adaptation, vulnerability to hazards, and the imperative of decarbonization in fortifying global food and nutritional security. This comprehensive exploration aims to shed light on the challenges our food systems face in the wake of climate change, and the strategies required to ensure resilience and sustainability. In the face of escalating climate challenges, securing sustenance demands a comprehensive approach. Climate adaptation becomes paramount, as agricultural systems struggle with increased vulnerabilities to various hazards. From extreme weather events to shifting precipitation patterns, the agricultural landscape is under constant threat. The decarbonization imperative emerges as a critical strategy, addressing the dual goals of mitigating climate change and enhancing food and nutritional resilience. By reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to sustainable practices, we not only contribute to global climate goals but also fortify food systems against environmental shocks. This integrated approach acknowledges the intricate connections between climate, agriculture, and nutrition, emphasizing the urgency of concerted efforts to ensure a resilient and sustainable future for food production and consumption. This book includes in-depth case studies from different regions, showcasing the diverse impacts of climate change on food systems. This book will integrate insights from multiple disciplines such as environmental science, agriculture, policy studies, and community engagement, providing a more holistic understanding of the issues at hand. It will serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners seeking in-depth knowledge on these interconnected topics.
