It also includes




  • Management of GHG emissions




  • Crop models as decision support tools




  • QTL analysis




  • Crop water productivity




  • Impacts of drought on cereal crops




  • Silvopastoral systems




  • Changing climate impact on wheat-based cropping systems of South Asia




  • Phosphorous dynamics under changing climate




  • Role of bioinformatics




The focus of the book is climate change mitigation to enhance sustainability in agriculture. We present various kinds of mitigation options, ways to minimize GHG emissions and better use of the latest techniques in conservation and environmental-sustainability.
