The 'Climate Resilient Crops for The Future' (Hardback) by K.V. Peter is an essential scholarly resource aimed at revolutionizing agricultural practices in the face of climate change. This book dives deep into the scientific exploration of crops that can withstand extreme environmental conditions, thereby ensuring food security as we progress into an era marked by severe climate challenges. It offers a comprehensive insight into various crop types that fit into the five critical components of production: space, water, energy, light, and nutrients. The book highlights the necessity to diversify our agricultural base beyond terrestrial crops toward innovative options such as halophytes, bryophytes, and various aquatic plants. Authored by leading scientists from 21 universities and research institutes in Japan and India, each chapter discusses strategies for promoting climate-resilient crops, essential for adapting to evolving dietary patterns driven by urbanization and changing lifestyles. Topics covered include alternative food sources from saline habitats, edible ferns, and the potential of tropical tuber crops, specially curated for agriculturalists, horticulturists, and policy makers looking to combat the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture.

"Concise Oxford Dictionary defines Resilience as recoiling; springing back; resuming its original shape after bending, stretching, compression etc. With five components of crop production space, water, energy, light, nutrients- limiting, there are stresses on crops to perform at threshold input yielding optimum output. Droughts and floods, cold and heat waves, forest fires, landslides and mud slips, ice storms, dust storms, hailstorms, thunder clouds associated with lightening and sea level rise are throwing new challenges to farming. This dangerously narrow level of food base prompts to widen the base of grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, industrial crops, mushrooms and aromatic plants. The emphasis so far was more on terrestrial plants, forest plants and lesser on lower plants. The aquatic plants-fresh water, brackish water, marine- were not much explored for edible use except by Chinese and Japanese. Halophytes, bryophytes, ferns and sea weeds are so far climate resilient.

The Indo-Burmese Centre of origin (Hindustan centre including North East) is abode of several plants of possible vegetable, fruit and spicy value. The New Life styles consequent to migration for employment have brought newer food and dietary patterns. The urbanization and smaller family size are leading to pre-cooked foods and visitation to restaurants. s on bryophytes, halophytes, microalgae, chasmophytes, pseudocereals, medicinal mushrooms, speciality mushrooms, palmyrah palms, bramakamal, tropical tuber crops, dragon fruits, broad dhaniya, plants for dyes, kale and ornamental ginger are authored by eminent working scientists from 21 Universities and Research Institutes in Japan and India. The crops for the future especially climate resilient are to be identified and promoted in an emerging production scenario of new life style foods and convenient speciality foods getting attention by the new generation. The present book Climate Resilient Crops for the Future carries 17 chapters authored by men of eminence in respective areas concerning to the above areas.
