Resilient Agroecosystems: Innovations in Cropping Systems and Climate Change Mitigation (Sustainability Sciences in Asia and Africa)

This book explores the latest advancements in sustainable soil and water management for crop production. It also examines the impacts of climate change, strategies for its mitigation, and the role of machine learning in assessing these effects. Key topics in this contributed volume include: a) enhancing agricultural sustainability through conservation practices, b) the impact of climate change on soil-water-crop systems, c) mitigation strategies for climate change in agriculture, and d) utilizing machine learning to assess climate change effects on crop production.

This book is an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, extension workers, and policymakers, who are seeking to advance sustainable agricultural practices and address the challenges posed by climate change.
