Description:
This book is the result of a collaborative effort among internationally renowned multidisciplinary scientists who recognize that arid lands are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. These impacts are expected to significantly affect the productive capacity of arid regions, thereby posing challenges to food security. Furthermore, the contributors acknowledge that under current conditions and the prevailing pace of progress, achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2) of ending hunger by 2030 will be highly challenging.
In response to these pressing issues, the editors took the initiative to invite distinguished scientists to contribute manuscripts that compile the latest knowledge on multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral aspects of climate change impacts on food security, with a focus on countries in arid regions. The information presented in this book is intended to benefit a wide range of global stakeholders-including students, farmers, researchers, extension workers, and policymakers-by supporting the development of strategies to mitigate climate change impacts and adopt science-based adaptation practices. These efforts are critical to enhancing the resilience of arid lands and advancing progress toward SDG 2.
The book is organized into five sections covering key topics: natural resources management and governance, agriculture and food security, mitigation and adaptation synergies, poultry and aquaculture, and agricultural pests and soil microbial populations. This comprehensive compilation serves as a unique scientific resource, providing up-to-date information on the global challenges faced by arid lands in the context of climate change, along with strategies for mitigation and adaptation to ensure food security.
