1. Sustainable Agriculture for Food Security under Climate Change is a significant compilation that addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our era—the need to feed a rapidly growing global population while contending with climate change. Developed from the proceedings of an international conference jointly organized by prominent institutions across Africa, Asia, and Europe, this book brings together 25 carefully selected papers by leading scientists, scholars, and development experts. The chapters are systematically organized into sections covering a broad spectrum of topics, including micro and nano plastics, food security and health, climate change adaptation and mitigation, crop improvement, resource and environmental management, livestock production, digital and biotechnological innovations, and socio-economic aspects of food systems. The book highlights the role of advanced agricultural and livestock management technologies, biotechnology, and digital tools such as AI, GPS, and GIS in addressing food security and climate resilience. By synthesizing diverse research and practical experiences, this volume serves as a valuable reference for policymakers, researchers, students, and practitioners dedicated to advancing sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security in the face of environmental change.
