Modern Technology for Climate Change Agriculture

Climate Resilience and Climate Smart Agriculture

As climate change increasingly disrupts agricultural systems worldwide, innovative technologies are emerging as vital tools for enhancing resilience, sustainability, and productivity. „Modern Technology for Climate Change Agriculture – Climate Resilience and Climate Smart Agriculture“ builds on the foundation of the first volume, offering a comprehensive exploration of advanced solutions tailored to address the multifaceted challenges posed by climate variability. This volume is structured into four thematic sections, covering cutting-edge approaches such as precision agriculture, digital tools, and genetic innovations, alongside policy and financial strategies that promote climate-smart practices. Chapters delve into topics including Internet of Things (IoT) applications, gene editing for resilient crops, renewable energy integration, and soil fertility management in semi-arid regions. Other contributions explore aquaculture in changing environments, microbial technologies, vertical farming, and advanced irrigation systems, emphasizing their role in mitigating climate impacts while enhancing resource efficiency. By combining technical insights with practical case studies and addressing barriers to adoption, this book serves as a crucial resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. The collaborative perspectives presented underscore the importance of interdisciplinary efforts in transforming agriculture into a sustainable, climate-resilient sector capable of meeting global food security demands amidst a rapidly changing environment..

The primary aim of proposed book of earth observation in climate change agriculture is to advance the scientific understanding and application of technologies addressing a variety of areas related to food security within context of sustainable practices, crop modeling, irrigation practices, micro-irrigation, agricultural statistics, agricultural economics, climate change scenario,  spatial modeling, farmers income and agricultural policy. This book would be beneficial for academician, scientists, environmentalists, meteorologists, environmental consultants, computing experts working in the areas of agricultural sciences.

Prof. Arvind Kumar, a renowned educationist and researcher having more than four decades of experience was given the responsibility from May 2014 to June 2022 by the President of India as first Vice Chancellor of Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi. Prof. Kumar has an excellent academic record to his credit. He obtained M. Phil. (1971) and Ph. D. in Agronomy (1975) from Meerut University, Meerut. Prior to this assignment Prof. Kumar worked as DDG (Education), ICAR, New Delhi from 2009–2014, held the additional charge of DDG (Fisheries), ICAR, New Delhi about 5 months and was the Director of DRMR, Bharatpur from 2002 to 2009.

Dr. V. K. Singh is currently Director, Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad, India. Dr. Singh has made valuable contributions in the area of soil fertility appraisal and soil health restoration through site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) and inclusion of legumes in intensive cropping systems. His effort on soil fertility appraisal using geo-statistical tools in different agro-ecologies revealed widespread multi-nutrient deficiencies. The extensive studies by him at cultivators’ fields underlined the significance of SSNM for addressal of multi-nutrient deficiencies, improving yields, and profits under different cropping systems.

Prof. Yogeshwar Singh, a researcher and educationist having eighteen years of experience has been given the responsibility as Founder Head (Agronomy) on April, 2020 at College of Agriculture, Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi to develop the department as an excellence of teaching, research and extension. Prior to joining as Professor (Agronomy) at College of Agriculture, Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi Dr Singh was serving as Principal Scientist, ICAR-National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management, Baramati, Pune, Maharashtra.

Dr. Susheel Kumar Singh is currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Soil Science at the College of Agriculture, Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi, (UP) India. He completed his Ph.D. in Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry from the department of Soil Sciences and Agriculture Chemistry at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut UP).

Dr. Pavan Kumar is presently Assistant Professor at College of Horticulture and Forestry, Rani Lakshmi Bai Central Agricultural University, Jhansi, U.P., India. He obtained his Ph.D degrees from Faculty of Natural Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. He did B.Sc. (Botany) and M.Sc.  (Environmental Science) from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India and subsequently obtained Master’s degree in Remote Sensing (M.Tech) from Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra Ranchi, India.
