Climate Change and AgricultureAuthoritative and comprehensive resource covering climate-smart agriculture with key insights into its implementationClimate Change and Agriculture provides a complete overview of the development of sustainable agroecosystems and cropping systems and details how to improve the resilience of cultivated crops and cropping systems to the adverse conditions of the climate, such as drought, increasing levels of carbon dioxide, global warming, and many other secondary effects such as soils fertility depletion, uncommon disease, and pests. Additionally, the text suggests different agricultural practices to face the severity of frequency of the natural events.Climate Change and Agriculture also delves into the different climate-resilient methods and climate-smarter agriculture (CSA) for food production by building healthier soils through different sustainable practices, redesigning diverse agroecosystems, and developing new crop varieties, livestock breeds, and farm practices. Insight into how modern technology has affected the field, and how it may affect the field in the future, is included.Other topics discussed in Climate Change and Agriculture include:* Climate change and agriculture (state of the art, challenges, and perspectives), plus studies on crop yields and their extreme value analysis over India* Symbiosis for food security and sustainability in changing climate and emerging issues related to conservation agriculture in Africa* The role of periurban agriculture in sustainability and climate change, with additional information on nutrient management in agro-ecosystems* Soil fertility management and biofertilization in changing climate and biochar mitigating abiotic stress-induced damages under changing climateFor academics and students; seed, fertilizer, and chemical producers; farmers and farming communities; and policy makers, Climate Change and Agriculture contains invaluable insights into the subject that are helpful in understanding the current state of the field and preparing for potential future developments.

A Detailed Reference on How Modern Biotechnology is using the Biofortification of Crops to Improve the Vitamin and Mineral Content of Edible PlantsIn this reference, Vitamins and Minerals Bio-Fortification of Edible Plants, authors cover new territory on phytonutrients, focusing on the enhancement and modification of edible crops. This book presents techniques and research findings from modern biotechnology to educate readers on the newest tools and research in the field. Readers will learn how groundbreaking scientific advances have contributed to the nutritional content of edible plants and crops for animals and humans.Inside, readers will find comprehensive information on new concepts of biofortification, including but not limited to:* Modern biotechnology and its uses for improving the vitamin and mineral content of edible plants* Potential minerals and vitamins that can be targeted and implemented in agriculture* Ways of enhancing the nutritional contents of edible plants to address nutritional deficiencies and improve livestock* Methods of identifying plants that can be used to heal or prevent disease and illnessWhile many books cover the phytonutrients of crops, this reference book reports on methodologies, techniques, and environmental changes used to enhance and improve agricultural products. It is one of the first to provide information on using modern biotechnologies to modify crops with the goal of creating health benefits.

An in-depth treatment of cutting-edge work being done internationally to develop new techniques in crop nutritional quality improvement Phytonutritional Improvement of Crops explores recent advances in biotechnological methods for the nutritional enrichment of food crops.
