โฆ Synopsis
Worldwide climatic changes have been raising concerns about potential changes to crop yields and production systems. Such concerns include the ability to accommodate these uncertain effects in order to ensure an adequate food supply for an increasing population. Written by leading international experts, this book is the first comprehensive examination of the potential effect climate change, particularly greenhouse gases, will have on agroecosystems. It also reviews the effects such systems have on climate change itself.

Current trends in population growth suggest that global food production is unlikely to satisfy future demand under predicted climate change scenarios unless rates of crop improvement are accelerated. In order to maintain food security in the face of these challenges, a holistic approach that include
