Food Security and Climate Change, 1st Edition, examines the state of global food security and climate change alongside the actions required to safeguard future food availability. The text explores critical pressures confronting agricultural production and evaluates how food supply and demand may shift by 2050.

The volume details strategies to sustain productivity, addressing adaptation to drought, crop management, and the control of pests, diseases, and weeds. It also considers the cultivation of vegetables, roots, and tubers alongside maize and wheat systems.

To counter climatic challenges, the work emphasizes the use of novel methods, techniques, and genes sourced from diverse crop genetic resources and wild relatives.
