events leading to unprecedented changes in various sectors, including agricultural production in the
future years. Both developed and developing countries are affected, but developing countries with
little adaptive capacity and limited resources are more vulnerable to climate change effects.
Desertification, fresh water shortages, soil erosion, increased salinity, changed pest and disease
scenario, biodiversity loss, reduction in length of growing period are some of the consequences that
adversely affect the agricultural productivity straining the national economies. Detailed implications of
climate change effects, resilience of populations and coping mechanisms are not fully understood in
most countries in semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Asia and Africa 1, 2. ICRISAT, with the help of partners,
is working to better understand the global, national and regional impacts of climate change on
agricultural production and resource management and developing mechanisms to better cope up with
the climate change effects in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa and Asia1...","2008","published",,,,,,,"136-142",,"Symposium on Global Climate Change","Tsukuba International Congress Center, Epochal","2008","other",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,"",,"http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Coping+with+climate+change+in+the+Semi-Arid+Tropics&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
