Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change torrent

This title examines global climate models that predict increases over time in average temperature worldwide, with significant impacts on local patterns of temperature and precipitation. The extent to which such changes present a risk to food supplies, farmer livelihoods, and rural communities depends in part on the direction, magnitude, and rate of such changes, but equally important on the ability of the agricultural sector to adapt to changing patterns of yield and productivity, production cost, and resource availability
