The book "Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emission" in Agriculture presents the principles, practices along with key messages on different relevant issues on climate change and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in agriculture. Chapters also contain probable questions and few solved problems. It is primarily intended for use as text book at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, but it can also be used by researchers of environmental sciences and allied disciplines. The other important feature of the book is that techniques of GHGs measurements at field level with examples are presented which could be useful for practical studies. The book should give students a good foundation in climate change studies and inspire them to take up further studies in the advanced area of environmental sciences.
