Summary

Cracked Earth Yields explores the urgent issue of increasing aridification and its impact on global food security. It examines how communities can adapt through sustainable agricultural systems, focusing on irrigation techniques and crop modifications. Addressing the geographical distribution of drought under climate change, the book highlights innovative approaches, such as drought-resistant crops like sorghum and millet, to enhance resilience. It underscores the importance of understanding both the successes and environmental consequences of irrigation practices, including soil salinization.

 
The book argues for a combined approach of targeted irrigation, informed crop selection, and community-based resource management. Examining traditional flood irrigation alongside modern drip systems, the book analyzes their efficiency and environmental impact. This approach moves beyond simple fixes, advocating for integrated solutions that consider environmental sustainability and social equity.

 
Structured in three parts, the book starts with the science of drought, then evaluates irrigation methods, and finally focuses on crop diversification. By bridging hydrology, agronomy, climate science, and environmental policy, Cracked Earth Yields offers a comprehensive perspective for scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to understand the complexities of drought and develop effective adaptation strategies.

Climate Denial

Thomas Porcher, Henri Landes

Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.
