Full Description
Building Resilient Water and Food Systems Under Climate Change aims to help readers understand and implement strategies to build resilient communities that can ensure sustainable access to both food systems and water resources. The book examines the impact of climate change on food and water security and explores how communities can adapt to these challenges. It provides an in-depth analysis of climate change science, focusing on its effects on agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems. Additionally, the book showcases case studies of communities that have successfully employed resilience strategies by integrating traditional and local knowledge systems with modern techniques.
Readers will find practical solutions for managing risks and building sustainable, climate-resilient systems. By combining theoretical insights with real-world examples, this comprehensive guide is designed for policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to effectively safeguard essential resources at both macro and micro levels in the face of climate change.
