Routledge Climate Change and World Agriculture (Routledge Library Editions: Pollution, Climate and Change)

Product Description Originally published in 1990, this book analysed the sensitivity of the world food system and looked at the variety of ways in which it would be affected by climate change. It describes the effects of climate change on agriculture, estimates the impacts on plant and animal growth and looks at the geographical limits to different types of farming. It also considers the range of possible ways to adapt agriculture and so to mitigate the disastrous consequences of climate change. About the Author Martin L. Parry
