Update, Conclusions,
and Recommendations to “Climate
Change Impacts on Agriculture and Food
Security in Egypt”
El-Sayed Ewis Omran and Abdelazim M. Negm
Abstract This chapter encapsulates the essential climate change challenges (in
terms of conclusions and recommendations) of the agricultural environment in
Egypt and presents insights derived from the cases in the volume. In addition,
some (update) findings from a few recently published research work related to the
climate change covered themes. This chapter focuses on climate change impact on
agriculture in Egypt that was documented during the book project. To this end,
we identify five main contribution areas, which include an overview of climate
change in Egypt, land and water resources, smart farming, livestock, fishery, and
aquaculture, and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, conclusions will be built on
researcher vision gained concerning study findings and limitations. In addition, this
chapter encompasses evidence on a set of recommendations to direct future research
towards climate change impact on agriculture, which is a main strategic theme of
the Egyptian Government. The set of recommendations is presented for specialists
involved in following additional research to exceed the scope and findings of this
book.
