| book description |
Operational Agricultural Meteorology: A Realm for Sustainable Livelihoods offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between meteorology and agriculture, emphasizing its vital role in enhancing productivity, resilience, and sustainability across farming systems. In a time of growing climate uncertainty, this book brings to light the essential services and tools that agricultural meteorology provides to support informed decision-making at the farm, institutional, and policy levels. The book delves into the principles and practices of operational agricultural meteorology, covering topics such as weather and climate forecasting, agro-advisory services, early warning systems, agrometeorological data collection, and the integration of modern technologies like remote sensing, GIS, and AI-based analytics. It highlights how timely and location-specific weather and climate information can significantly reduce agricultural risks, improve resource management, and contribute to sustainable livelihood - particularly for smallholder and resource-poor farmers. Rich with real-world examples, case studies, and actionable insights, this volume provides readers with both theoretical foundations and practical guidance. It serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, extension professionals, meteorologists, development practitioners, and policymakers working at the nexus of agriculture, environment, and rural development. At its core, this book is a call to action: to strengthen the bridge between science and service, between forecast and farm, and between climate knowledge and community resilience. Through this lens, Operational Agricultural Meteorology becomes not just a field of study-but a transformative force for sustainable livelihoods and food security in a changing world.
