Dryland Agriculture

Dry land agriculture is of more consequence now than ever because the worlds dependence on food produced in dry land areas is even greater. In recognition of this, and the fact that global food supply is increasingly interconnected, this volume takes a world view of dryland production continent by continent.

The initial chapters of the monograph address the principles that underlie all dry land farming, and are the basis for the following chapters that address dry land farming issues around the world.

The main features of the book are as follows:

-Soils Methods and Management.
-Crop Development and Improvement.
-Agro system Management and the Global Food Crisis.
-Environmental Conservation and Climatology.
