The book “Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Climate Change” highlights the crucial need for a multidisciplinary approach to address the impacts of climate change on agriculture. Climate change poses significant threats to global food security, and its effects are far-reaching, impacting various aspects of agriculture, including crop production and yields, water resources and management, soil health and fertility, and livestock productivity and health. Integrating insights and expertise from various disciplines, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of climate change's impacts on agriculture. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, such as Climate Change and Agronomy, Soil Science, Plant Physiology, Organic Agriculture, Plant Breeding, Agricultural Entomology, Plant Pathology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Post-Harvest Technology, and Agriculture Extension Education. By offering practical solutions and strategies for climate-resilient agriculture, this book aims to inform evidence-based decision-making for sustainable agricultural development. Whether you are a researcher, student, or practitioner in the field of agriculture, this book will serve as an invaluable resource for understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change on agriculture.
