Climate Change Adaptations in Dryland Agriculture in Semi-Arid Areas
Climate Change Adaptations in Dryland Agriculture in Semi-Arid Areas[electronic resource] /edited by Xavier Poshiwa, G. Ravindra Chary. - 1st ed. 2022. - XIII, 365 p. 81 illus., 58 illus. in color.online resource.

Climate Resilient Rainfed Agriculture - Experiences from India -- Examining the potential impacts of agro-meteorology initiatives for climate change adaptation and food security in Bhutan -- Climate Change Mitigation: In situ management methods of Indigenous fruit trees in Chivi communal area, Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe -- The effect of temperature and rainfall changes on biophysical and socio-economic status of people in Northern Jordan valley drylands, Palestine -- An Assessment of Meteorological Drought Variability in representative areas of Rajasthan -- Building Resilience to Effects of Climate Change on Food Security: A Case Study of Female Headed Households in Arid Region of Buhera District, Zimbabwe -- Halophytes of Semi-Arid Areas: Resources for Mitigation of Climate Change -- Selection of resilient crop species for cultivation under projected climate change Livestock based production systems for Climate Adaptation in Dryland Areas.

This book highlights the approaches for achieving trans-disciplinary research integration for “semi-arid dryland agriculture systems” under changing climates, while also identifying the elements of a collaborative research agenda that are needed to advance global food security. The book emphasizes climate change being a reality and how drylands are bearing the brunt in diverse ways. The major impact of dryland agriculture is on communities that need to: avoid the short- and long-term impacts of the changing climate; adapt strategies that can minimize these impacts; and be able to mitigate climate change, for which they need climate smart interventions. These interventions are only realized through knowledge and experience sharing among stakeholders from different sectors and backgrounds. It is in this context that the publication was seen as a necessity in order to bring together ideas that will transform lives and build adaptation capacities, thereby providing the much-needed products in communities leading to development.
