Integrated Agricultural Strategies to Mitigate Climate Change

About the Book

This book is an exceptionally valuable resource and comes at the moment of greatest need in the context of putting climate change mitigation and adaptation into practice. To minimize global warming and greenhouse gas emission from agriculture this book unveils chapters that define linkage between ecosystem process and global biogeochemical cycles. Microbes few centimeters below ground decide our existence in this earth. These functional microbes contribute and also mitigate atmospheric greenhouse gas.  Book opens with chapters highlighting the fundamentals of soil microbial diversity and interaction with climate change. Soil carbon dynamics in response to different agricultural practice has been extensively discussed. A chapter exclusively illustrates the engineering intervention strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emission from agriculture.  Finally it provides quantitative scenarios of climate change mitigation by organic farming, and models predicting agriculture for the formulation of a national strategy for an effective and sustainable set of climate change mitigation measures. Individual chapters will prove invaluable support for agriculture, life science, and environmental planning modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.  The book suggests different metaphors for the strategic options to make climate change work for us, rather than against us, offering practical solutions to climate change – both adaptation and mitigation.
