This book analyzes how major events such as the recent pandemic crisis, wars around the world and climate change, have affected agricultural production and the direct food supply. In this sense, human nutrition will never be off the agenda. The book provides information and guidelines for both practitioners and decision-makers about important developments in the use of agriculture, soil and water resources for agricultural purposes, including the effective and efficient use of soil and water resources where agricultural production, increasing water productivity, the use of modern technology and digitalization for this purpose. Accordingly, a number of chapters have been prepared by experts in the field, covering a variety of the above-mentioned objectives.

Free Download Gerald P. Overhauser, "Constructing Climate Change Legislation: Background and Issues"
English | ISBN: 1606929860 | 2009 | 147 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Sorting out the appropriate roles of each level of government in addressing climate change is far more complicated than the specific question of whether State climate change programs should be pre-empted. This Paper raises more comprehensive and complex questions that the Committee must consider: what roles are best played by each level of government as we marshal our country’s resources to address climate change and how should these roles be reflected in Federal legislation. Many State and local governments have begun to address climate change, as the Subcommittee heard last year in testimony from State and local witnesses.2 Activity by State and local governments has helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions, has helped build a consensus that we need to address climate change nationally, and is helping to develop and test different policies. The country is now at the difficult and familiar stage of transitioning from multiple, often unconnected, State and local climate change programs to a comprehensive, national approach to addressing the global problem of climate change. For a variety of reasons, State and local environmental programs have often led to enactment of Federal environmental legislation.

Free Download Extremes in a Changing Climate: Detection, Analysis and Uncertainty By Xuebin Zhang, Francis W. Zwiers (auth.), Amir AghaKouchak, David Easterling, Kuolin Hsu, Siegfried Schubert, Soroosh Sorooshian (eds.)
2013 | 426 Pages | ISBN: 9400744781 | PDF | 13 MB
This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art methodologies and approaches suggested for detecting extremes, trend analysis, accounting for nonstationarities, and uncertainties associated with extreme value analysis in a changing climate. This volume is designed so that it can be used as the primary reference on the available methodologies for analysis of climate extremes. Furthermore, the book addresses current hydrometeorologic global data sets and their applications for global scale analysis of extremes. While the main objective is to deliver recent theoretical concepts, several case studies on extreme climate conditions are provided. AudienceThe book is suitable for teaching in graduate courses in the disciplines of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Earth System Science, Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences.
