Climate change is a reality that affects all aspects of agriculture, and is also impacted by agriculture. This collection of articles looks at a range of topics including: Impact on pollinators, key crops, farming systems, animal welfare and on humans, role of farmer organisations in extending use of climate-smart practices, genetic resources able to cope with climate change, including wild relatives and breeding for improved tolerance, how rhizobacteria can improve resilience, mitigation of livestock greenhouse gas emissions and the push for climate neutrality in the dairy industry and carbon storage in grasslands and seaweed. These articles have been published in the journal CABI Reviews.

This collection is a useful primer for students and researchers in agriculture, climate change science and international development seeking to understand the breadth of climate change impacts in agriculture.
