Beschreibung

Drought and Crops examines the escalating global challenge of feeding the world amidst more frequent and severe droughts. It delves into the science of crop failures, exploring the ecological and economic impacts while investigating adaptation strategies for drought-resilient agriculture. Understanding plant responses to water stress is crucial, as is predicting drought impacts on agricultural yields. The book emphasizes that drought isn't just an environmental problem; it's deeply intertwined with climate change, population growth, and global food security, echoing historical events like the Dust Bowl.

 
The book progresses from fundamental concepts of drought to the physiological effects on plant growth, and then explores adaptation strategies like breeding for drought tolerance and optimizing irrigation. A key aspect is translating scientific knowledge into practical advice for farmers and policymakers, using accessible language to explain complex concepts. This approach highlights the need for a multi-faceted response, integrating scientific understanding, technological innovation, and policy interventions to fortify agricultural systems against drought.

    Climate Worrier: A Hypocrite’s...

    Bestselling author Colm O’Regan is a worrier. A professional one. Caution is his watchword. Risk aversion is his love language. Now Colm is grappling with the biggest worry of all: the whole ‘planet being on fire’ thing and how exactly we can help. 
    Don’t worry, this isn’t a book telling you how to live off the grid and make your own planet-friendly soap from woodlice (that’s the sequel). Instead, Climate Worrier is about the journey, about trying (and often failing) to be part of the solution to the big issues, while not despairing at the endless hypocrisies that come from also being part of the problem. It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit. 
    So if you’ve fretted about: 
    - using your diesel car to get closer to nature, 
    - eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, 
    - existing 
    and have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you. 
    In Climate Worrier, O'Regan offers a humorous and relatable take on the struggles of trying to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. His essays on the topic are both enlightening and entertaining, making this book a top pick for environmentalists and conservationists alike. 
    For fans of Emer Mclysaght (Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling), and Britney Spears (The woman in me).
