Contents; Contributors; Foreword; Climate Change Impact and Adaptation in Agricultural Systems – Introduction; 1 Climate Projections for 2050; 2 Rainfed Intensive Crop Systems; 3 Climate Sensitivity of Intensive Rice–Wheat Systems in Tropical Asia:Focus on the Indo-Gangetic Plains; 4 Climate Change Challenges for Low-Input Cropping and Grazing Systems – Australia; 5 Diversity in Organic and Agroecological Farming Systems for Mitigation of Climate Change Impact, with Examples from Latin America; 6 UK Fruit and Vegetable Production – Impacts of Climate Change and Opportunities for Adaptation
7 Intensive Livestock Systems for Dairy Cows8 Climate Change and Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems in Temperate-Humid Regions of North and South America: Mitigation and Adaptation ; 9 Land Managed for Multiple Services; 10 Adaptation of Mixed Crop–Livestock Systems in Asia; 11 Enhancing Climate Resilience of Cropping Systems; 12 Shaping Sustainable Intensive
The focus of this book is future global climate change and its implications for agricultural systems which are the main sources of agricultural goods and services provided to society. These systems are either based on crop or livestock production, or on combinations of the two, with characteristics that differ between regions and between levels of management intensity. In turn, they also differ in their sensitivity to projected future changes in climate, and improvements to increase climate-resilience need to be tailored to the specific needs of each system. The book will bring together a series of chapters that provide scientific insights to possible implications of projected climate changes for different important types of crop and livestock systems, and a discussion of options for adaptive and mitigative management.
