This volume discusses important issues associated with agricultural disaster risk, resilient agriculture, and livelihood. It highlights the role of sustainable development goals in reducing the impact of climate change on agriculture. The contributions found in this volume discuss methodological and innovative resilience approaches to various natural hazards including flood, landslide, environmental challenges, strategies of disaster risk management, livelihood, ecosystem services, and agricultural sustainability. It explores the relationship between climatic change and agricultural transformation. While throwing light on the role of ecosystem services in disaster risk reduction, the book explores the impact of land degradation and change on growth of agricultural production and food production. The book will be useful for students and researchers of geography, environmental sciences, disaster management, and environmental geology. It will also be useful for geographers, environmentalists, hydrologists, geomorphologists, planners, and professionals working on related ideas.

This book discusses emerging contexts of global warming and climate change, agricultural vulnerability and adaptation from local to global scale. Climate change, resilience in relation to agriculture and livelihoods and multi-dimensionality of various approaches are clearly taken into account by providing studies and perspectives on various methods and scales based on natural science to social science frameworks. This edited work contains chapters that are interdisciplinary, covering climate change, agriculture vulnerability, disaster impact, productivity efficiency, food security, livelihood resilience, land degradation, sustainability, in terms of plan and perform for transformation, sustainability and adaptation, including philosophy, change and economics, as well as the natural sciences. This book addresses the sustainable development goals to reduce the adverse impacts on agricultural productivity brought on by climate change and its adaptation and disaster risk reductionin developing and developed nations. Some of the assessed challenges include soil erosion, land use conversion, natural resource mismanagement, crop productivity decline and economic stagnation. This book covers important issues in the production and consumption of food in the past and present periods, agriculture, livelihood, and climate change, disaster risk management and society. All of these are under the threat of ongoing climate change and significant challenges to livelihood sustainability. The book is arranged into five broad sections: each part will cover a set of chapters dealing with a particular issue of the climate change, agriculture and society: approach toward sustainability. This book aims to attract attention of students, researchers, academician, policymakers and other inquisitive readers interested in different aspects of climate change, agriculture, livelihood and sustainability, particularly at local to global context.

The sections are broadly divided along the themes, of women's health and gendered health challenges, demographic health issues such as aging populations, and the impacts of urbanization on health and the strategies to improve public health in urban areas such as green space projects.

This book provides a multi-disciplinary exploration of gender, public health, and disease with a focus on urban areas impacted by climate change. In three sections, global case studies are provided that analyze health risk management strategies in vulnerable populations containing high rates of mortality and disease morbidity. The sections are broadly divided along the themes, of women's health and gendered health challenges, demographic health issues such as aging populations, and the impacts of urbanization on health and the strategies to improve public health in urban areas such as green space projects. The book will be useful resource for students and researchers of health geography and public health, as well as public health practitioners and policymakers.

This book discusses a broad range of vital issues in public health, encompassing health facilities, the healthcare system, disease and epidemiological transition of disease, spatio-temporal change of health facilities, disease patterns, and the complex reciprocal relationship between human health and the environment.

This book discusses a broad range of vital issues in public health, encompassing health facilities, the healthcare system, disease and epidemiological transition of disease, spatio-temporal change of health facilities, disease patterns, and the complex reciprocal relationship between human health and the environment. The book is arranged into three broad sections. Part I: Socio-demographic determinants of public health and policies; Part II: Spatio-temporal & environmental determinants of public health and policies; and Part III: Disease epidemics and challenges. Considering all these overarching themes, this book has been prepared to discuss and provide insights to generate awareness of the holistic perspective of social, cultural, and political factors for public health, disease, epidemics, health facilities, the healthcare system, government policies, prosperity and backdrops in global and local contexts as a geographical perspective. The book should attract the attention of students, researchers, academicians, policymakers and other inquisitive readers interested in different aspects of public health, health geography, and spatial demography.

Geographical studies have undergone significant developments in recent times, offering new and exciting avenues for exploration. The proceeding of the International Seminar on " Recent Advancement in Geographical Research: Instances from South Asia " offers a comprehensive exploration of the latest developments in the field of geography.  These proceedings encompass a wide spectrum of topics, insights, and methodologies from both physical and human geography, demonstrating the multidimensional nature of the field.The first part of the proceeding, Recent Advancements in Physical Geography, deals with the evolving landscape of physical geography, emphasizing technological and scientific advancements. Notable chapters include research on environmental degradation assessment, sustainable agriculture through geospatial analysis, groundwater potential mapping, innovation management in natural risk prevention, and the analysis of land use and land cover changes. Cutting-edge techniques and technologies, such as remote sensing and machine learning, underpin these investigations. The second part, Recent Advancements in Human Geography focuses on human geography, exploring the intricate relationships between human societies and their environments. Chapters encompass a wide array of topics, including migration's impact on agriculture, household food security, and urbanization’s effect on wetland ecosystems, the dynamics of urban growth, and sustainable tourism and destination loyalty. These investigations reveal the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of geography and provide insights into contemporary challenges and opportunities in the field.These proceedings represent the collective efforts of researchers, practitioners, and students who are pushing the boundaries of geographical knowledge. Together, they contribute to our understanding of the world's complex dynamics, providing valuable insights for addressing real-world challenges and fostering sustainable development.
