Sustainable Cropping Systems Under a Changing Climate explores how climate change is reshaping agriculture and highlights the urgent need for resilient, adaptive, and sustainable cropping systems. As extreme weather, rising temperatures, and resource pressures threaten global food security, this volume offers practical pathways to transform agricultural practices.
The book brings together leading research, real-world case studies, and innovative strategies to address the vulnerabilities and opportunities facing cropping systems. It covers sustainability principles, climate-smart practices, and the roles of soil health, biodiversity, conservation agriculture, organic farming, agroforestry, regenerative practices, and plant-microbe interactions in enhancing system resilience. Special attention is given to intensive systems like rice-wheat and rainfed agriculture, particularly in the Global South.
With its interdisciplinary approach and emphasis on both scientific evidence and practical implementation, this volume bridges a critical gap by supporting informed decision-making at farm, institutional, and policy levels. It is a timely and essential resource for researchers, agronomists, extension professionals, and others seeking to future-proof agriculture through nature-based and technological solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation.
