Rosales Hernández, Aníbal; Olivares Campos, Barlin Orlando; Viloria Rendón, Jesús; Iskandar Nahas, Laila; Garcia Montero, Pedro

This book focuses on the intersection of climate change and agriculture, specifically addressing how climate variability and change impact agricultural systems in Venezuela. The main topics include climate variability, its effects on crop production, regional differences in agricultural vulnerability, and practical strategies for adaptation and mitigation. The book explores the challenges faced by Venezuelan farmers, from increasing temperatures and erratic precipitation to extreme weather events like droughts and floods. It also presents strategies for adapting agricultural practices, enhancing soil health, and improving water management to build resilience. This book is novel because no comprehensive work has been published before that addresses these issues in the Venezuelan context. It fills a significant gap in the literature by providing a localized, in-depth analysis of climate change’s impact on agriculture. The book is important because it offers farmers, policymakers, and researchers actionable insights into sustainable practices, aiming to solve the problem of increasing vulnerability in Venezuela’s agricultural sector. It provides solutions to ensure food security and environmental sustainability in the face of a changing climate.
