Sinopsis

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.
