on agriculture. The first is assessing vulnerability and enhancing adaptive capacity
and resilience to climate change; second, the pollination of flowering plants is one
of the most important ecological services in natural and agricultural ecosystems;
third, change of agricultural calendar as a response to climate variability; fourth,
projected crop coefficients under climate change in Egypt; fifth, rice production in
Egypt: the challenges of climate change and water deficiency; six, smart farming
approach is using nanotechnology for real-time control of the red palm weevil
under climate change; and finally, how to face climate change: urban gardening and
sustainable agriculture are discussed.
The fourth part, which contains five chapters, discusses the different methods
and approaches for livestock, fishery, and aquaculture. Five different ways are
recognized for potential climate change impacts on livestock, fishery, and aquaculture. First, potential climate change impacts on livestock and food security nexus
in Egypt is presented; second, the influence of climate changes on animal feed
production; the third way is through algae and fish; the fourth way is climate change
impact on immune status and productivity of poultry as well as the quality of meat
and egg products; and the final way in this book is climatic change and chicken
immunity.
The final part, which consists of three chapters, provides a comprehensive
overview of the socioeconomic impacts and green sustainability. Three scenarios
have been identified to study the socioeconomic impacts of climate change. The
first scenario deals with agriculture and rural communities’ vulnerability in the Nile
Delta. The second scenario is related to water–climate–food nexus for green sustainability. The third scenario is an efficiency analysis approach.
Lastly, the final chapter briefly summarizes the most significant findings and
recommendations of the book. The concluding chapter highlights major challenges
to achieving equitable and sustainable water security in Egypt and offers cautious
prospects for the future.
At this point, this book on the impacts of climate change on agriculture and food
security in Egypt emerged. There are several books written around the world on the
topic; however, this book aims to highlight and focus on recent advances in the
impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security in Egypt. A group of
experts has come together to write this book, which aims to pass on the new
knowledge and information available to the readers. Depending on your interests
and preferences, one can start the journey from anywhere. Readers and beneficiaries
vary from academics, professionals, and scientists to students from undergraduate
to graduate.
This book is intended to be of interest to all stakeholders in the climate change
sector: financing institutions, users’ associations, planners, designers, training, and
research institutions. I wish it would act as a guide book on climate change for those
interested readers. We believe the information presented here will be of the greatest
help policy-makers, managers, and researchers interested in a broad perspective of
urgent climate change issues in Egypt and hope that the book will contribute to
some real if modest, progress toward the beneficial management of climate change.
