Description & Coverage
Description:

With the potential to impact weather patterns, agriculture, and habitability of certain regions, global warming is a topic of interest to environmentalists, scientists, as well as farmers around the world. The threat of food shortages and famine especially becomes a major concern as a result of recent climate shifts.

Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security in Small Island Developing States discusses the repercussions of a shifting climate on food production and availability in small island nations. Comprised of research-based chapters on topics relevant to crop management, sustainable development, and livestock management on island territories, this advanced reference work is appropriate for environmental researchers, food scientists, academicians, and upper-level students seeking the latest information on agricultural concerns amidst a changing climate.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Availability of Food
  • Coastal and Inland Fisheries
  • Invasive Species Management
  • Natural Disasters
  • Protected Agriculture Systems
  • Soil Management
  • Water Management
Reviews & Statements

Editors Ganpat and Isaac present environmental researchers, food scientists, academicians, and students with a collection of research-based materials from a wide variety of academics and researchers regarding the shifting of agricultural concerns for small island developing states in an era of ongoing climate change. The text is organized in three sections, first providing a general overview, then investigating related issues from the perspective of research done in specific countries and regions, and then examining them from the perspective of specific related themes in research. The editors are both faculty members of The University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago.
