Global climate change has substantial modifications in environmental conditions. This results in an adverse impact on various aspects. Of the various aspects, the impact on agriculture is pronounced. The impact on agriculture will be varied due to the vulnerability of different farmers' groups owing to their agricultural land size, economic and social background. Indian farmers/cultivators and agricultural labourers are committing suicide since 1995. Of the various reasons for their suicides climate change is also one of them. The high seed cost, late or no seed germination, less or no...

Rapid urbanization, globalization and industrialization have lead to generation of different types of pollution. Of the emerging pollution light pollution is one of them. Due to indiscriminate use of artificial light in urban and industrial areas the glaring effect of it has resulted in number of adverse impact on environment particularly on biotic components. This book attempts to shed light on causes, consequences and control measures of light pollution.

Der globale Klimawandel hat verschiedene nachteilige Auswirkungen auf unseren Planeten Erde. Eine der wichtigsten dieser Auswirkungen ist der Rückgang der Nahrungsmittelproduktion und des Nährstoffgehalts derselben. Aufgrund des raschen Bevölkerungswachstums werden die im Szenario des Klimawandels zur Verfügung stehenden Nahrungsmittel nicht ausreichen, um die Nachfrage zu decken, was zu einem Ungleichgewicht zwischen Angebot und Nachfrage führt. Darüber hinaus wird der Druck auf die begrenzten Nahrungsmittelressourcen dazu führen, dass in naher Zukunft nach alternativen Quellen für...

Global climate change has various adverse impacts on our planet Earth. Of these impacts, one of the major one is reduction in food production and nutritional content of the same. In addition, due to rapid population growth the food source which will be available in the climate change scenario will be insufficient to meet the demand side, thus will lead to demand-supply imbalance. Moreover, the stress on limited food resources will compel to search for alternative source of food materials in near future. In the light of these conditions, this book attempts to explore 'insects' as a source of...
