In this paper, the authors reviewed the findings based on the series of studies carried across the globe on the potential adaptation strategies to alleviate the impact of climate change by improving the resilience of the agro-ecosystems.Abstract:
Agriculture the major economic and social activity in the globe. It is understood that agriculture is highly
sensitive to climatic variability and likely to be affected most to predicted climate change. The fourth assessment
report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has reconfirmed that the phenomenon of existence of
climate change in recent decades is due to anthropogenic activities. It is also revealed the availability of wide array
of adaptation options for agro-ecosystem to cope up with the impact of climate change. However, it is important
to design more extensive adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability of agriculture and rural poor to impacts of
climate change. Climate change impacts and responses are presently observed as autonomous adaptation in the
physical and ecological systems as well as in human adjustments to resource availability and risks at different
spatial and trophic levels. But these strategies are not enough to reduce the current anthropogenic driven climate
change, so there is a need to adopt the planned adaptation. This paper reviews the findings based on the series
of studies carried across the globe on the potential adaptation strategies to alleviate the impact of climate change
by improving the resilience of the agro-ecosystems. Adaptation strategies have to be in place to reduce vulnerability
to climate change through developing consensus between industrialized countries and developing countries at
global scale, whereas new public policies in place at national regional and local level is prudent to support
adaptation research, insurances, incentives to farmers to adapt new technologies.read more

Indigenous knowledge about climate change: Validating the perceptions of dryland farmers in Tamil Nadu
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to understand the dryland farmers' perceptions about climate change, its impacts and indigenous adaptation measures they pursue, and found that 81 % of farmers experienced climate change in terms of decreasing and unpredictable rainfall, increasing temperature and delayed onset of monsoon.

Livestock ectoparasites: Integrated management in a changing climate
TL;DR: Simulation and spatial species distribution models show that the range of elevated temperatures predicted by current climate change scenarios are likely to result in an elongated blowfly season with earlier spring emergence and a higher cumulative incidence of strike.
