This book
examines the problem of Integrated Management of Agricultural Drought, and
takes a holistic view beginning with the socio-economic perspective,
characterization of drought-prone environments for targeted development of
technologies, and agronomic and genetic options for the management of
agricultural drought.
The scope of the book is broad. It will be
of interest to students, scientists, agencies involved in agricultural
research for development, research administrators, planners, and donors.
Progress in managing agricultural droughts will have a large impact on the
well being of the poor people who inhabit the harsh, drought-prone regions
of the world.
