Climate's Impact On Food Supplies: Strategies And Technologies For Climate- Defensive Food Production

Autor Lloyd E. Slater
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 apr 2019
Global concern about the impact of climatic variability on food supplies has been growing since 1963 when a major crop failure in the Soviet Union ended a long period of abundant, low-cost surplus grain. Since then a number of sizable crop shortfalls and food supply emergencies throughout the world have encouraged the study of climate-food interact

Descriere

This book assesses theories of how climate influences food production and distribution, discusses how societies can contend with climate-induced food shortfalls, and explores policies and technologies that promise to reduce climate's impact on agriculture and to increase food production through unorthodox methods.
