Synopsis

This book presents focussed information related to dynamic cropland transformation, agriculture development, climate change, and environment with the application of advance geospatial technology. It describes research using geospatial tools and techniques to develop the models, design, and planning for agricultural land use optimization especially in south Asian countries. It covers agriculture production, water scarcity, industrial development, natural resources, environmental degradation, and sustainable development.

Features:

Provides the adaptation strategy from a multidisciplinary resilience perspective
Addresses contemporary agricultural resilience to various climate change issues
Develops novel approaches for sustainability with environmentally sound practices
Discusses methodological and innovative approaches at local to global perspective
