The vagaries of climate change and the associated production limiting abiotic stresses is a hard truth which the humanity has to face in near future. Drought, salinity, flood, nutrient imbalancesand extremes temperature are among the major environmental constraints to crop productivity worldwide. The increasing climatic variability and associated stresses are likely to aggravate the problem of future food security and may lead to highly fragile agri-production systems. The climate resilient agriculture system is the need of the hour to have sustainable production and reduced green house gas emission with less environmental footprints of farming.

This book deals with highly pertinent and much discussed topic of climate change and related recommendations on eco-friendly adaptation and mitigation measures. This is an extensive compilation of latest scientific information having 19 very well drafted chapters written in a lucid manner by subject matter experts covering all facets of climate change and associated abiotic stresses. The chapters particularly deals with the impact of climate change on agri-production system, climate smart agriculture, Indian monsoon, eco-friendly and efficient resource utilization including water, conservation agriculture and agro-techniques for abiotic stress mitigation and adaptation strategies to have sustainable production. The book is also having additional information on mass spectrometry, chromatography and mushrooms for agro- business.

The book is having easy to understand diagrams and pictorial depictions, which enhance the quality of publication. It is a complete package of information having immense utility to the scientific community, teachers, researchers, extension personnel and other stakeholders involved in climate resilient agri-production system.
