This book provides an extensive analysis of climate change and its potential consequences on food security in India. It delves into the global scenario of extreme climatic events and the projected climatic parameters in the coming years. The book also examines the impact of climatic variability on crop productivity, including cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, and flowers, as well as the incidence of plant diseases. Additionally, it discusses the environmental impact on edible mushroom and rubber cultivation. The book offers information on the impact of climatic variability on the productivity and survival of livestock and freshwater fisheries.
