en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2026
With rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns, climate change is significantly affecting water resources and agricultural productivity. As a result, food and water security are threatened. This new book, Building Resilient Water and Food Systems Under Climate Change, aims to help readers understand this threat and implement strategies to build resilient communities that can ensure sustainable access to both food systems and water resources. This book examines the impact of climate change on food and water security and explores how communities can adapt to these challenges. It provides an in-depth analysis of climate change science, focusing on its effects on agriculture, water resources, and ecosystems. Additionally, the book showcases case studies of communities that have successfully employed resilience strategies by integrating traditional and local knowledge systems with modern techniques. Building Resilient Water and Food Systems Under Climate Change offers practical solutions for managing risks and building sustainable, climate-resilient systems. By combining theoretical insights with real-world examples, this comprehensive guide is designed for policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to effectively safeguard essential resources at both macro and micro levels in the face of climate change.

  • Covers the interconnected relationship between food and water in creating secure, resilient communities
  • Covers the challenges that climate change creates for food and water security, as well as possible solutions and adaptations
  • Combines conceptual insights with practical information that can be applied to communities around the globe
