This book is related to disaster risk reduction in agriculture particularly under changing climate. Climate change refers to significant, long-term changes in the global climate. There is unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate. Human activity is the principal cause. The planets average surface temperature has risen to about 1oC since the late 19th century and most of the warming occurred in the past 40 years. The years 2016 and 2020 are tied for the warmest year on the record. Similarly, other evidence of rapid climate change includes warming of oceans, shrinking...

Indigenous fermented foods have long served as essential components of traditional diets across the world. These include both fermented and non-fermented varieties, often rooted in centuries-old practices of food preparation and preservation. Beyond extending shelf life, fermentation enhances the physiochemical properties and nutritional profile of food. However, with the increasing impacts of climate change, globalization, urbanization, and the rising availability of processed fast foods, many indigenous food cultures are rapidly declining.
This book explores the intersection of...
