Agriculture and Climate Change

As of September, CIAT's Library is exhibiting books, thesis, reports and other documents on "Agriculture and Climate Change”. The exhibition includes: climatic variations in agriculture, greenhouse effect, global environmental change, effect of climate change in crop production, carbon sequestration, predictions of climate change, among others. Some of the publications are listed below:
