About the Book

Presenting an overview of agroecology within the framework of climate change, this book looks at the impact of our changing climate on crop production and agroecosystems, reporting on how plants will cope with these changes, and how we can mitigate these negative impacts to ensure food production for the growing population. It explores the ways that farmers can confront the challenges of climate change, with contributed chapters from around the world demonstrating the different challenges associated with differing climates. Examples are provided of the approaches being taken right now to expand the ecological, physiological, morphological, and productive potential of a range of crop types.

  • Describes the effects and responses of the macro and micro levels of crops under the different components of climate change
  • Reports on the adaptation and resilience of food production systems within the changing climate
  • Covers how plants cope with the changing climate including physiological, biochemical, phenotype, and ecosystem responses
  • Provides an in-depth discussion on the importance of agricultural education connected to climate change
  • Giving readers a greater understanding of the mechanisms of plant resilience to climate change, this book provides new insights into improving the productivity of an individual crop species as well as bringing resistance and resiliency to the entire agroecosystem. It offers a strong foundation for changing research and education programs so that they build the resistance and resilience that will be needed for the uncertain climate future ahead.


    About the Author: Dr. Noureddine Benkeblia is a Professor of Crop Science involved in food science focusing on food-plants biochemistry and physiology. His work is mainly devoted to the pre- and postharvest metabolism in crops. Prof. Benkeblia, received his BSc, MPhil and Doctor in Food Sciences from the Institut National Agronomique (Algeria), and Doctor in Agriculture (PhD) from Kagoshima University (Japan). After a few years teaching in Algeria, he joined INRA, Avignon (France) as a Postdoctoral Scientist from 2000.

Prof. Benkeblia joined the Department of Life Sciences, the University of the West Indies (Jamaica) in 2008, continuing his work on the physiology, the biochemistry and metabolomics of fructan-containing plants in Jamaica. He also works on the postharvest physiology and biochemistry of local fruits. Prof. Benkeblia has published over 150 papers, over 37 books and book chapters, and was recipient of many awards among them the UWI-Award for Most Outstanding Research in 2011 and 2013.
