Beschreibung
This book discusses the critical need for resilient forage systems as the global climate change intensifies. It provides an analysis of the vulnerabilities of forage crops and proposes science-backed solutions to enhance their adaptability and productivity. It also sheds light on the economic and social impact of climate change on forage crops. The book's purpose is twofold - to elucidate how climate change reshapes the growth, quality and availability of forage crops globally, and to offer practical strategies to mitigate these impacts. Key topics covered include breeding climate-resilient forage varieties, optimizing water and nutrient management, and integrating agroecological approaches for sustainable forage production. This book, thus, bridges the gap between research and application to build resilient agricultural systems. Lastly, it also provides information on the role of policy and governance in forage crops adaptation.
This book is intended for a diverse audience, including researchers, agricultural scientists, policymakers, extension professionals, and students in agronomy, animal science, and environmental studies. It serves as a valuable guide for farmers and livestock producers seeking adaptive strategies to safeguard forage production under climate stress.
