This book addresses the important issues of food security and sustainability of natural resources of India in the context of the projected climate change. Agro-ecosystems being the sites of intense interaction between human beings and natural world, global climate change is likely to affect the resource base, the crop productivity, input use efficiency and overall the profitability of agricultural production systems to a great extent. However, the adverse effects of climate change can be alleviated through mitigation and adaptation strategies which carry importance due to the increasing population and food demand in India. Thus, this compilation covers possible sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in Indian context including the potentials of soil carbon sequestration, crop pest and soil management and scientific livestock management as mitigation and adaptation options. This book also includes some topics on fundamentals of green house effect and the possible mechanisms by which soil nutrient availability alters due to CO2 fertilization. The schematic diagrams, tables and graphs have been included to make the book more illustrative. The likelihood of carbon credits and trading through best management practices can help Indian farmers earning carbon credits in future. The book is useful for researchers, farm managers, policy makers and also students engaged in climate change related studies.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This publication examines the critical subject of food security and the sustainable utilization of natural resources in India, taking into account the potential impact of climate change. As agroecosystems are locations of significant interaction between humans and the natural environment, global climate change is likely to have a significant effect on the resource base, crop yields, input efficiency, and overall profitability of agricultural production systems. However, the adverse consequences of climate change can be mitigated through the use of mitigation and adaptation strategies, which are becoming increasingly important due to Indias growing population and demand for food. This collection covers potential sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in the Indian context, including the potential for soil carbon sequestration, crop and soil management, and scientific livestock management as mitigation and adaptation options. The book also covers fundamental concepts related to the greenhouse effect and the potential mechanisms by which soil nutrient availability may be altered due to CO2 fertilization. The book is illustrated with schematic diagrams, tables, and graphs. The inclusion of information on the likelihood of earning carbon credits and engaging in carbon trading through best management practices may benefit Indian farmers in the future.
