But the marginalised sectors and regions are projected to be hit the most with their limited capacities and resources to respond to climate change impacts, hence, increasing their vulnerability. A basic and urgent concern therefore is to know varying v...
The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades.
