Climate Change and Agriculture: Impacts Adaption and Mitigation
June 25, 2010| |
The book published by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reports the economic and policy issues related to the impacts of climate change on agriculture and adaptation responses, and to the mitigation of greenhouse gases from agriculture. It is a guide to policy makers in the design of policies to address climate change issues in agriculture. In particular, it highlights the knowledge gaps on the impacts of climate change on food production, the researches undertaken and underway in national and international research agencies, and the relative costs of implementing greenhouse emission reduction strategies.
