Climate Change Effect on Crop Productivity

ISBN-13: 9781138748224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 538 str.

Opis

This book provides analyses ofthe global consequences to crop yields, production, and risk of hunger of linked socioeconomic and climate scenarios. Potential impacts of climate change are estimated to evaluate consequent changes in global cereal production, cereal prices, and the number of people at risk from hunger. The crop yield results elucidate the complex regional patterns of projected climate variables, CO2 effects, and agricultural systems that contribute to aggregations of global crop production.

Recenzje

"This book, comprised of contributions by leading scientists and professors, explores the state of current agriculture production and the potential ways that climate change will affect yield. The authors link climate change to socioeconomics by considering the effect of decreased crop production on hunger. They take a global perspective and this book will be a valuable opportunity to stimulate discussion between governments, stakeholders and scientists."
