This important sector contributes a large part of the global economy and includes crops, livestock, and seafood. , Agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries are closely linked to the climate. Changes in climatic conditions can affect animal and plant productivity, which in turn influence human well-being. The proposed book will provide an integrated assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries and will explore a set of strategies to secure sustainable food security. It will synthesize information from the scientific literature on theory, models, and decision support tools. The proposed book is organized around the following fundamental points: • The evolution of agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries in a context of climate change • The origin, causes, and consequences of this evolution and the impact on human well-being • Solutions for making the agriculture and food system more sustainable. Objective • Highlight the associations between climate change, food security, and socio-economic development. • Establish an inventory of good agricultural practices for the adaptation to climate change. • Make a useful reference document for the development of recommendations for sustainable management of soil, water, and energy. Target Audience Students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners Recommended Topics • Climate change, agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries • Food security • Water-food-energy nexus • Climate change, ecosystem services and poverty • Climate-smart agriculture techniques • Carbon sequestration in vegetation and soil • Agriculture expansion and the development of good agricultural practices • Agricultural productivity • Sustainable agriculture and food production systems • Environmental and sustainability constraints, • Sustainable ecosystem management, • Water management for agricultural use • Food processing and agricultural markets • Adaptation to climate change and drought • Fight against desertification • Genetic resources for food and agriculture Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before Sept 1, 2019, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.
