Introducing Climate Change and Agriculture:
As the specter of climate change looms, the intersection of agriculture and environmental dynamics takes center stage in the quest for sustainable food systems. Researchers in Climate Change and Agriculture navigate the intricate web of challenges and opportunities, seeking resilient practices that mitigate environmental impact while ensuring global food security.
Subtopics:
Adaptive Crop Management:
Explore strategies to adapt traditional crop management practices to changing climate conditions incorporating resilient crop varieties, altered planting schedules, and precision farming techniques.
Water-Efficient Agriculture:
Investigate innovations in irrigation practices water conservation technologies, and sustainable water management to address the escalating challenge of water scarcity in agriculture exacerbated by climate change.
Climate-Smart Agriculture:
Delve into holistic approaches that integrate climate adaptation, mitigation, and food security, encompassing practices such as agroforestry, conservation agriculture, and climate-resilient crop breeding.
Carbon Farming:
Examine agricultural methods that sequester carbon in soils and vegetation, contributing to climate change mitigation. This includes agroforestry, cover cropping, and sustainable land management practices
Extreme Weather Resilience:
Focus on developing agricultural systems that can withstand and recover from extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and storms ensuring the stability of food production in a changing climate.
