The effects of climate change on crops and cropping practices on global warming and means to mitigate such effects are detailed. Measures essential for achieving (i) cost-effective agricultural sustainability with environmental conservation in a steadily warming atomsphere and (ii) food-security are set out. The book can serve as a text book in Agricultural Meteorology and will be valuable for agricultural policy planners and extension professionals.
