Climate change is already affecting invasive species, pests, and disease vectors. Advances in agricultural knowledge, science, and technology will be required to develop improved crop traits. This two-volume set gives readers an understanding of the issues and makes suggestions for ways to mitigate adverse climate change effects on crops. The focus of Volume 1 is to identify impacts and suggest appropriate and effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.
