Challenges and Solutions of Climate Impact on Agriculture explores issues arising from the changing climate for agricultural plants, with a soil-focused approach. Addressing the impacts on a range of important global food crops, it looks at issues of water and temperature and their impact on soil quality for production.
Presented by a global team of experts, this book will be important for researchers seeking to understand specific challenges, and means of addressing those challenges effectively and efficiently.

The agriculture sector is arguably one of the most sensitive to changes in the climate. Because the climate of a region determines the nature and characteristics of vegetation and crops, any change in the mean seasonal temperature and decrease in effective precipitation can reduce productive periods for crops, risking outbreaks of pests and disease and negatively affecting global food security.

Shah Fahad

Dr. Shah Fahad is Assistant Professor in the Department of Agronomy at Abdul Wali Khan University. He obtained his PhD in Agronomy from Huazhong Agricultural University, China. He specializes in studying the effects of climate change and anthropogenic impacts on environmental health, agriculture, and food production. Within this focal area, he has published extensively on the role of cyanobacteria in sustainable agriculture and the risks harmful cyanobacterial blooms pose to aquatic systems. He has edited 17 books, including four titles with Elsevier.
