Quantification of yield gaps in rain-fed rice, wheat, cotton and mustard in India
Climate risk management has become a key area for research and policy dialogue due to increasing threats of disasters and climate extremes, which are likely to increase due to climate change. Global south (including Latin America, Africa, South and South-east Asia) is a major hotspot for climatic...

Climate change and its effect on conservation and use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and associated biodiversity for food security
Agriculture and food security are key sectors for intervention under climate change. Agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2C (lowend) predictions for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for rural poverty and for both rural and urban food security. Agriculture...
