This edited volume focuses on the challenge to food security posed by a changing climate, with chapters exemplifying many of the critical issues through empirical studies undertaken in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Focussing on risk reduction and management, the book includes chapters on the responsiveness of farmers based on traditional knowledge; the monitoring of national food prices by governments; the use of satellite imaging to provide landscape information; and the development of innovative schemes for insuring against risk of hazards associated with climate change. It also examines a number of cross-cutting themes including equity, gender, livelihoods and governance.
