enhance crop growth, yet their combined role in adapting crop production to global warming has been largely overlooked. This study develops an integrated strategy by optimizing irrigation and nitrogen inputs to provide effective and sustainable solutions for climate change adaptation in US agriculture. ...
Adaptation in agriculture to climate change is important for impact and vulnerability assessment and for the development of climate change policy. A wide variety of adaptation options has been proposed as having the potential to reduce vulnerability of agricultural systems to risks related to climate ch...
In this review of adapting agriculture to climate change, the nature, extent, and causes of climate change are analyzed and assessed. These provide the context for adapting agriculture to climate change. The review identifies the binding constraints to adaptation at the farm level. Four major ...
Adaptation to climate change is imperative for the resilience of smallholder agriculture in many developing countries. While studies have focused on climatic impacts on crops and adaptation decisions, barriers to the uptake of adaptation measures by smallholder farmers remain largely unexplored. We empirica...
Assigning a label of “climate adaptation” to any promising innovation in agriculture is a common temptation, one that is increasingly hard to resist as funding grows for topics related to climate adaptation. Many feel justified in the use of “adaptation” if a change in technology or managemen...
change. While technical measures may play an important role in the adaptation of Colombian agriculture to climate change, I question whether these actions alone truly represent priority issues, especially for smallholders. I suggest that by i) looking at vulnerability before adaptation, ii) ...
Agriculture in South Asia is vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, adaptation measures are required to sustain agricultural productivity, to reduce vulnerability, and to enhance the resilience of the agricultural system to climate change. There are many adaptation practices in the production systems th...
