Sustainable Agricultural Development with Climate-Smart Systems

This proceedings volume contains the updated state-of-the-art knowledge and research outcomes on the impact of climate change and variability on agriculture and allied areas like water resources management as well as technological interventions to minimise, mitigate and cope with the changing climate. It is structured into four distinct sections: (i) Climate and Environment (ii) Water Resources under Climate Change Scenarios, (iii) Climate and Agriculture and (iv) Technological Interventions and Adaptation Strategies. The articles reflect glimpses of interdisciplinary research to advance climate-smart agriculture and its role in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Continuous Growth), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The chapters in this volume are authored by leading experts from academic, research and practice in the pertinent domains. This will be a valuable document for the students, teachers, researchers and practicing professionals.
