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 provides analyses of sanitation, health, population dynamics and demographic variables from different perspectives, including data science, statistics, modeling, economics and natural sciences, to inform sustainable decision making and policies related public health and hygiene and in mainly rural and impoverished areas. The structure is arranged into three broad sections: Part I, Population Dynamics, Environment and Society; Part II, Health, Livelihood and Policy Response; and Part III, Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). The book makes recommendations for policymakers on designing and delivering social protection policies to deal with different aspects of water, health, sanitation, population, and hygiene, taking the needs of women and rural communities into special consideration. It also aims to educate students and early career researchers, to help them develop novel approaches for sustainability with environmentally sound practices.

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. 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.
