Climatic and non-climatic factors influencing changing agricultural practices across different rainfall regimes in South Asia
The world’s climate is continuing to change at rates that are projected to be unprecedented in recent human history. Some models are now indicating that the temperature increases to 2100 may be larger than previously estimated in 2001. The impacts of climate change are likely to be considerable i...
