商品描述

This edited book is focused on Sustainable Development Goal 2. It offers a comprehensive and topical collection of practices, technologies and innovations in the field of sustainable food production and security under a changing climate. It is a one-stop handbook for farmers, researchers, extensionists, policy makers and other stakeholders seeking to identify and disseminate best fit technologies for local and regional landscapes. It offers an understanding of the challenges, risks and uncertainties as well as opportunities to foster productive and sustainable food production.

Smallholder farming and agriculture in general is facing a serious threat from climate change that has resulted in erratic and unpredictable rainfall and increased temperatures, among other abiotic stresses. These climate change induced pressures have reduced productivity mainly among the smallholder farmers, who are critical in driving the attainment of sustainable development goals like SDG 2,12 and 13.

The objective of the book is to document effective and practicable practices and technologies that can be adopted by smallholder African farmers as mitigation measures against the effects of climate change. This book is of interest to researchers, agricultural scientists, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯書籍專注於可持續發展目標2。它提供了一個全面且具時效性的實踐、技術和創新集合，涵蓋在變化氣候下的可持續食品生產和安全領域。這是一本為農民、研究人員、推廣專家、政策制定者及其他利益相關者提供的綜合手冊，旨在幫助他們識別和傳播適合當地和區域環境的最佳技術。書中闡述了挑戰、風險和不確定性，以及促進生產性和可持續食品生產的機會。

小農戶農業及一般農業正面臨氣候變遷帶來的嚴重威脅，這導致降雨不穩定和氣溫上升等非生物壓力。這些由氣候變遷引起的壓力主要降低了小農戶的生產力，而小農戶在實現可持續發展目標如SDG 2、12和13方面至關重要。

本書的目標是記錄可被小農戶非洲農民採用的有效且可行的實踐和技術，以作為應對氣候變遷影響的緩解措施。本書對研究人員、農業科學家、氣候變遷科學家、能力建設者和政策制定者具有重要意義。
