Climate Crisis, Food Crisis

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, with profound implications for human societies, ecosystems, and economies. Among its most critical impacts is the threat it poses to global food security. Changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and the frequency of extreme weather events affect agricultural productivity, food availability, and rural livelihoods worldwide. In Iran, a country characterized by diverse climatic zones and a substantial rural population, the effects of climate change are particularly pronounced. Rural communities, heavily reliant on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihoods, face increasing vulnerability to droughts, floods, and shifting climatic patterns. This book has 5 chapters (plus introduction and references).
