In an era defined by climate uncertainty, nutritional challenges, and technological disruption, the book Agro-Food Innovations: From Weather to Wellness presents an integrated vision for building resilient, sustainable, and health-oriented agri-food systems. Bridging the domains of agrometeorology, food science, dairy technology, and nutrition, this volume provides a multidisciplinary roadmap from atmospheric phenomena to human wellness. It lays the scientific foundation by exploring the critical influence of weather and climate on food systems. It examines agrometeorological tools, climate change impacts, extreme weather events, and the vital role of communication and early warning systems in managing agricultural risk.The book focuses on climate-smart farming, resilient dairy systems, and cutting-edge post-harvest technologies that reduce losses and enhance value addition across the supply chain. It highlights advancements in food processing, functional foods, and dairy technology. It emphasizes safety, regulatory frameworks, and the role of consumer awareness in driving innovation in food systems. The title addresses the emerging need for nutrition-sensitive agriculture, sustainable dietary patterns, and integrated approaches to rural development. The final chapter outlines future pathways and policy strategies to connect climate resilience with food and nutrition security. Designed for researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners, this book brings together science, innovation, and policy into one coherent narrative. It encourages systems thinking and cross-sectoral collaborationcrucial for navigating the path from weather to wellness.
