This book attempts to identify the adverse consequences of climate change (CC) on agriculture and food production. It explores certain methods used to quantify river-basin-wide vulnerability to CC, and suggests adaptation mechanisms and their costs. These methodologies are relevant to all river basins, especially the Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery.

This book provides an overview of climate change in India using river basin data and analytical and econometric methods. It, first, makes a quantitative assessment of how climate change affects agricultural and food production systems; second, predicts how these systems may respond to climate change; and third, suggests adaptation measures and strategies to improve the income of farmers, increase production, save water and conserve environment.The work will be greatly useful to policy-makers, researchers and teachers of agricultural economics, environmental studies and economics and development studies as also to research organizations dealing with climate modelling and resource management.
