Beskrivning

This book provides a comprehensive and actionable roadmap for addressing the pressing challenges of climate change in arid regions through innovative and sustainable agriculture practices. It explores how traditional and indigenous agricultural practices, interwoven with modern innovations can create adaptive and sustainable farming systems to overcome some of these challenges. The book further explores strategies for optimizing water use through advanced irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and groundwater recharge, while improving soil health and water efficiency via mulching, biochar application, and no-till farming. It also addresses the development of climate-resilient crops and crop improvement mechanisms tailored to the unique conditions of arid lands. Renewable energy solutions and precision agriculture supported by controlled environments and digital tools, are presented as key drivers of sustainable productivity and resource efficiency. Beyond technological interventions, the book underscores the importance of community-based solutions and farmer education in empowering local communities and fostering knowledge sharing. It serves as an essential resource for policymakers, researchers and practitioners working to build resilient and sustainable agricultural systems and promote sustainable development in arid regions.
