Sustainable Cropping Systems Under a Changing Climate, 1st Edition, edited by Mukhtar Ahmed and published by Academic Press, examines climate change impacts on agriculture and presents practical methods for restructuring agricultural systems. This work supports researchers, advanced students, and policymakers in agriculture and crop sciences who evaluate long-term environmental adaptation strategies.

The volume organizes technical strategies across several main operational themes. It covers soil health, biodiversity, conservation agriculture, organic farming, agroforestry, and regenerative approaches to agricultural management. Additional sections examine plant-microbe interactions alongside weed management frameworks designed for shifting environmental conditions.

The analysis places specific emphasis on intensive cropping systems, particularly rice-wheat rotations and rainfed agriculture in the Global South. This targeted analytical emphasis assists agronomists, extension professionals, universities, and agricultural research institutes in establishing resilient field strategies across vulnerable production zones.
