This important book, written by recognized leaders in their fields, discusses agricultural dimensions of global climate change. Research and policy issues are covered and a multidisciplinary view of global climate change and agriculture is presented.
Major sections cover the contribution of agriculture to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (including an investigation as to whether monitoring and verification of such emissions would work) and the impact of global climate change on agriculture.
The book examines such important issues as global food availability, distributional effects between developing and developed countries, agricultural adaptation possibilities, and whether CO2 enrichment will benefit agriculture.
A unique feature of this publication is that it addresses communication difficulties between researchers and policy makers and suggests solutions.

CHOICE Review

A book derived from a conference that discussed scientific evidence of climate change, its potential impact on world agriculture, contribution of agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions, the status of international negotiations to formulate a response to the risk of climate change, ethical issues to guide the policy debate, and resolution of communication problems between scientists and policymakers. The primary objective of the conference was to understand the central issues surrounding this problem; other objectives addressed global climate change, information to help policymakers, a multidisciplinary view of climate change and agriculture, and communication problems between scientists and policymakers. Topics included the evidence of global climate change; various aspects of how agriculture will be potentially affected by climate; international negotiations; agricultural contribution to climate change; and idea transfer between scientists and policymakers. Each chapter has an adequate reference section, and there is a glossary. For scientists, policymakers, economists, agronomists, climatologists, and lawyers. General; graduate through professional. H.
