Sinopsis

Climate change is an intensifying reality of the present, reshaping land systems, ecosystems, and human livelihoods across the globe. Its impacts are most clearly manifested through changes in land cover and land use, degradation of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and growing risks to food systems, water security, and rural and urban livelihoods. Changing Climate–Land–Life Interplay: Spatial Approaches for Biodiversity, Agriculture, and Land Resilience in Emerging Economies examines these interdependencies by placing human well-being and livelihood security at the core of climate–land–life interactions.

Focusing on emerging economies such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Vietnam, the book addresses regions where climate vulnerability, rich biodiversity, and rapid economic transformation directly affect millions of people dependent on land and natural resources for their survival. Moving beyond siloed treatments of climate, land, or conservation, the volume adopts a systems perspective that links land-use change with ecosystem services, agrobiodiversity, and livelihood outcomes. A defining feature of the book is its use of spatial approaches – remote sensing, geographic information system, and landscape-scale analysis – to reveal how climate-driven land transformations shape livelihoods, equity, and resilience in the Global South.

Key features include:

Climate impacts on land, ecosystems, and livelihood systems
Land use change and its implications for ecosystem services and human well-being
Biodiversity and ecosystem functions supporting livelihoods
Agrobiodiversity as a basis for resilient, nutrition-secure farming systems
Regional case studies connecting land governance and livelihood outcomes
Policy analysis integrating development, conservation, and adaptation
Action pathways using geospatial tools and participatory governance

This book is intended for researchers, policymakers, planners, conservation and development practitioners seeking integrated strategies to sustain land, life, and livelihoods under climate change.

Dr Sanjay Kumar, FNA, FNAAS, FNASI, Chairman of the Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board, New Delhi, previously served as Director of CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (CSIR-IHBT). His scientific achievements include discovering a carbon fixation pathway to boost photosynthetic efficiency, developing an autoclavable superoxide dismutase enzyme, and advancing understanding of secondary metabolism and adaptive mechanisms in plants. As director, Dr Kumar spearheaded initiatives addressing malnutrition, preserving traditional knowledge, conserving biodiversity, and promoting waste management. His team introduced high-value crops―asafoetida, saffron, monk fruit, Russian accessions of sea-buckthorn, apple, cinnamon, liquorice, lilium, and tulip―to non-traditional regions, promoting self-reliance in India. His promotion of aromatics made Himachal Pradesh a leader in wild marigold essential oil production. Dr Kumar’s commitment to the bioeconomy launched startups, spurred a surge in technology transfers, and expanded entrepreneurial agreements to bring institute-developed products to market. He is recognised as a distinguished scientist in the field of agricultural innovations. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjay-kumar-aa94a1137/
