Climate Change and Agriculture - V. Radha Krishna Murthy

As an international agrometeorologist deeply engaged in the intersection of climate change and agriculture, the author offers this book not merely as a compilation of facts, but as a guide to understanding the evolving challenges and opportunities in global agriculture under changing climate. The aim of the book is to equip students, policy makers, and agrometeorologists with the scientific foundation, critical thinking skills, and global perspective needed to innovate and lead in a warming world. Core Concepts of the book include Policy Concept for Climate Change (PCCC) and Micromet Concept for Climate Change (MCCC) which helps the farmers in reducing the cost of cultivation of their crops and animal rearing by 50 per cent, increase in yields by 50 percent and 10 percent increase in quality of their produce. Towards this direction the book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach, from Al innovations to organic farming and policy frameworks. Stresses the urgency of both mitigation and adaptation to secure profitable agriculture and food production.

This book reflects the author's commitment to fostering informed, resilient, and climate change-conscious agricultural leaders. It stands the test of time as one of the most important books of the present era.
