Food security and climate change

Climate change will impact on food security worldwide – but especially in the dry areas. This book contains papers presented at a conference in Amman, where scientists and policy makers from 29 countries discussed technology, institutional and policy options to maintain food security in dry areas, despite lower rainfall, higher temperatures and altered pest and disease patterns.
