Omschrijving
This book presents evidence-based research on climate-neutral and resilient farming systems and further to provide innovative and practical solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impact of climate change.
"This book makes a timely contribution towards understanding the relevance and practicality of climate neutral and resilient farming systems with focus on smallholder farms, and the potential for climate mitigation and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It adds new knowledge and is useful for a wide audience in this field."
Prof. Dr. V. Geethalakshmi, Ph.D., FAAM. Vice-Chancellor, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore - 641 003, India
"IPCC’s 6th Assessment Report of Working Group I stated in 2021 that "It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land". The agricultural sector should take immediate measures to mitigate and adapt to the climate change due to global warming. For irrigation engineers, it is very significant to have a firm grasp of the topic Climate Neutral and Resilience Farming Systems (CNRFSs), which is the focus of this book."
Tsugihiro Watanabe, Vice President of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID), Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University, Japan
"This book is very timely and a valuable knowledge contribution on managing green-house-gas emissions in the agriculture sector. Each chapter underscores low carbon emission agriculture in achieving the 1.5oC target of the Paris Agreement. An insightful publication!"
Paxina CHILESHE-TOE, Regional Climate and Environment Specialist, Environment, Climate, Gender and Social Inclusion Division, Strategy and Knowledge Department, IFAD, Nairobi, Kenya
"We need to deploy innovative solutions at scale to tackle climate change. This book is timely in helping to promote agri-food systems as an important part of the solution to the climate crisis, especially in the lead up to COP27 in Egypt and beyond."
